In this math activity, learners use a variety of sensory modalities to gain experiences with identifying, describing and creating repeating patterns.

Players take turns adding shapes made of three squares to a grid. They try to fit their shapes on the grid in a way that blocks the other player.

The learner will ask yes-no questions to identify a secret shape (similar to Twenty Questions). Build understanding of shapes and logic skills with this game for all ages.

In this activity, learners develop an understanding of cylinders and volume as they compare two sizes of popcorn buckets.

As learners play this strategy game, they develop understanding of squares, area, and perimeter. On each turn, a player draws a line between two dots next to each other on the grid.

In this activity, young learners will explore shapes, textures, and geometries using household materials.

In this activity (on pages 41-47 of PDF), learners explore tesselating geometric patterns (repeated shapes, similar to the art of M.C. Escher).

In this activity, learners of all ages will experiment with paint and printmaking.

In this activity, caregivers and young learners work together to craft and talk about shapes and relative positions of such shapes by creating a mobile.

Straws and pipe cleaners are terrific materials for building models of pyramids and cubes.

The goal of this activity is to design, build and test a house or toy for an animal.

These three short activities challenge groups to fit objects through paper and index cards: "Slots" presents the challenge for one learner to figure out which objects fit through a hole cut by another

In this tabletop activity (on pages 32-40), learners make Möbius strips -- 3D surfaces with only one side.

In this activity, learners will engineer a new shape and use it to create a new pattern with no wasted space.

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.

This activity gets learners looking at 6-sided shapes in nature, including the cells of a beehive, as well as other shapes.

This math activity exposes early learners to a variety of three-dimensional objects. Learners bring geometric solids (everyday objects) from home.

Create beautiful spirals by drawing a straight line. This sounds crazy, but you can with a turntable (a record player or lazy susan), paper, and pen.

In this activity, learners will build the highest tower they can out of recycled materials.

As learners play this game, they build skills in area, perimeter, multiples and factors. They take turns making rectangles with 12 squares on the grid.
