Source Institutions
In this activity, learners design unique tiles and make repeating patterns to create tessellations. This activity combines the creativity of an art project with the challenge of solving a puzzle.
Mold Mole Molds
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners make different shapes that hold exactly one mole of gas (air).
Simple Pop-Up Mechanisms
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners construct three quick and simple mechanisms to start building a pop-up book. Learners fold, cut, and glue paper to make a bird beak, parallelogram, and V-fold.
Making a Translation Tessellation
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners slide shapes to create unusual tiled patterns.
String Shapes
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners work together to make polygons (many-sided shapes) with string. Learners sit on the floor and hold onto a piece of string slid between their thumbs and index fingers.
