Buckets of Popcorn
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners develop an understanding of cylinders and volume as they compare two sizes of popcorn buckets.
Party Hat Symmetry
Source Institutions
In this hands-on activity, learners make New Year's Eve party hats out of wrapping paper. Learners use symmetry and measurement to cut out shapes they need to assemble the hats.
Crazy Shapes
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners cut a shape into two equal sized pieces and use their knowledge of geometry and space to prove that the two parts are equal.
Shape & Solid Exploration
Source Institutions
In this game, learners use clues to identify mystery shapes. Use everyday objects (like from the pantry) as the shapes.
Treasure Hunters
Source Institutions
Learners use their opponent's clues and a compass rose to find the hidden treasure on a map. Learners use problem solving and coordinate grid skills as they hunt for treasure.
Turning the Tables
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners explore geometry and spatial relationships as they figure out how to arrange tables for a party.
Full of Hot Air: Hot Air Balloon Building
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners create a model of a hot air balloon using tissue paper and a hairdryer. Educators can use this activity to introduce learners to density and its role in why things float.
The Right Fit
Source Institutions
In this math activity, learners trace their hands and estimate the number of beans that can fit into their hand tracings. Then, learners glue the beans to the tracing to test out their estimations.
More Bubbles!
Source Institutions
In this math activity, learners make their own bubble wands and determine if the size of the wand affects the number of bubbles it produces.
Family Reunion
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners combine counting, area and perimeter concepts as they prepare the seating arrangement for a family reunion dinner.
Peppy's Day in the Park
Source Institutions
In this math activity, learners build Peppy the dog the best trail and park for running around.
Symmetry Fold-Overs
Source Institutions
In this math activity, learners experiment with the concept of symmetry.
Dicey Directions
Source Institutions
In this game, learners are stuck in a right turn only world! Learners take turns rolling a die and moving their game pieces along the lines of a grid to get "home," by only making right turns.
Bubble Sculpting
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners develop spatial reasoning skills as they blow bubbles and observe what happens when the bubbles connect.
Tangram Challenge
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners use tangrams ( 7-piece puzzle tiles) to assemble a variety of shapes. Tangrams are ideal for improving spatial reasoning and geometry properties.
Copy Cats
Source Institutions
In this math activity, learners use what they know about shapes to copy a friend's hidden picture. Learners create a design out of pattern blocks and then hide their picture behind a screen.
Needlework Designs
Source Institutions
In this math activity, learners create symmetrical designs for paper models of special blouses known as huipiles.
Toothpick Patterns
Source Institutions
In this hands-on activity, learners use toothpicks to build different triangles and squares and then use the toothpicks to build and solve some tricky shape puzzles.
Guess My Rule
Source Institutions
In this math activity, learners play a game and try to be the first player to identify their partner's rule. Learners identify the rule by finding commonalities between three familiar objects.
The Same Names
Source Institutions
In this math activity, learners make and explore patterns using the letters in their names, a grid, and some colors.
