In this outdoor archaeology activity, learners use mathematical skills and scientific inquiry to generate and process information from their own excavation site.

In this activity, learners create a cylindrical mirror to see themselves as others see them.

In this activity, learners construct drums out of everyday containers (like bowls or food containers) and shrink wrap. Learners use a hair dryer to affix and tighten the shrink wrap to the container.

In this activity, learners discover that they can modify a regular piece of paper so that it's large enough for them to walk through!

In this math lesson, learners use the setting of a flower-making fundraiser to explore a variety of patterns. Learners examine the patterns in a flower design made of triangles surrounding a square.

In this math lesson, learners identify, describe, and construct the five regular polyhedra.

In this great hands-on activity, learners use patterns to make a teepee from newspaper that they sit inside.

In this activity, learners determine the shape of an unseen object by bouncing a ball off the object.

In this three/four-day lesson, learners calculate perimeters and areas and draw the castle plan to scale.

In this activity, learners add squares to paper dominoes to make polyominoes.

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.

In this optics activity, learners experiment with polarizers (small dark rectangles) to examine light intensity.

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.

In this engineering activity, learners explore simple machines and then build cardboard automata using cams.

In this activity, learners build a paper stellated rhombic dodecahedron, a three-dimensional 12-pointed star.

Learners use two mirrors to explore how images of images of images can repeat forever.

In this four-day lesson, learners identify three-dimensional forms in castle design, research different parts of the castle with a focus on their uses, and design and enlarge a banner for the great ha
