In this activity, learners make "totally tubular" forms of carbon. Learners use chicken wire to build macro models of carbon nanotubes.

In this sorting activity, learners play a game in which they try to identify the largest number of differences between two objects.

In this activity, learners explore scale by using building cubes to see how changing the length, width, and height of a three-dimensional object affects its surface area and its volume.

In this calculus activity, learners use a classic problem of geometrical probability to find an important mathematical constant (pi).

In this math activity, learners use cubes to calculate how many blocks it would take to build stairways with different heights.

In this activity, learners overlap the three primary colors to see how all other colors are made.

In this math activity, learners play a card game to practice adding coins quickly, just like a banker. First, learners create coin cards. Next, the cards are dealt to each player.

In this activity, learners will estimate how many seeds are in a fruit or vegetable, then count to find out. The result: mix estimation with healthy eating.

Learners make their own simple slide rules out of paper and learn how they work.

In this activity, learners practice matching and subitizing as they create the longest domino train possible.

In this activity, learners work in partners to create and exchange messages written in Braille. Learners use a Braille key and thumbtacks to write their messages in Braille.

In this activity, learners use their hands as tools for indirect measurement.

In this activity, learners use multiplication skills to get groups of aliens safely back to their planet.

In this geometry activity, learners explore networks painted on playgrounds, such as a four square court, and draw their own.

In this math activity, learners make toothpick designs by following simple patterns.
