Geometry Tessellations All Around Us: Math Inquiry Project
Geometry is all around us. Tessellations are the art of maths. Make maths interactive and hands on. This 3 day math workshop includes trans disciplinary skills of observations, inferring and critical thinking, where the children have to identify polygons and create their own tessellations. This IB PYP aligned geometry presentation includes a slide show that demonstrates how patterns repeat and occur in nature. Take a walk outside and allow the children to explore and inquire for themselves! Th

Desktop Zip Lines -- GATE STEM for Upper Elementary
Students not only study physical science, they design with it, build with it, they write about it, calculate with it, and they live it.
It’s the engineering process in miniature as our engineering teams design and then build desktop ziplines from scratch. Students will draft plans, build zipline towers, choose the best zippy materials, and assemble their ziplines. Hey, it’s incredible fun . . . but it’s not just fun and games here! Students will use their ziplines to collaborate on a physica

Kid STEAM Construction for GATE 3rd - 7th Grades BUILD A WORKING CAPSTAN
Maybe all you folks on the coast know what a capstan is, but we land-locked folks haven’t a clue. OK, so I know now . . . a capstan is an interesting combination of simple machines often used on the high seas, a fun construction project full of little building skill challenges, and a great tool for a hands-on geometry experiment.
In this lesson, we discover what a capstan is using primary source photos, build a scale-model capstan, experiment with it, and gather data to make this a true STEAM

Friday Math - Penny Tile Flooring for Upper Elementary and GATE
Another Friday Math lesson for hands-on learning across several Common Core Standards . . . at least 22 standards from 2nd to 6th grade: multiplication, division, decimals, area, geometry arrays, expressing ratios, public speaking and listening, and more!
In this lesson, students apply math skills to determine the number of pennies required to tile a kitchen floor. They’ll make strong hands-on, visual-mathematic connections for area and multiplication as they tackle this real-life DYI dilem

Da Vinci Parachute Prototypes -- Hands-on STEM
In this lesson, students solve geometry problems and learn background physics concepts as they build a working model of Leonardo Da Vinci’s parachute. Logic, critical thinking, a bit of Renaissance history, writing and supporting conclusions with details from a source—it’s all here too!
Make this extended lesson a cross-curricular, standards-based mini-unit, or just make it a cool building activity. Pick and choose the level of commitment right for you and your students. With the suggested e

Friday Math -- Sports Pennants Geometry Design for 21st Century Learners
Powerful visual-mathematical connections with hands-on design challenges. . .
Everyone likes to cheer for someone, and the traditional pennant has been a mainstay of “fandom” for more than a century. Tried, tested, and refined with GATE nonverbal ability 4th and 5th graders, this lesson should be a hit with 6th grade, 7th grade (or beyond) too!
In this lesson, students use geometry, number sense, and measurement skills to design their own pennants. The keyword is PRECISION in these designs.

Friday Math -- Baseball Card Probability Game
This series of activities will challenge students’ Common Core skills and critical thinking skills in a variety of ways!
How do baseball video game developers design their video games so that Major League players perform with relative accuracy according to their real-life strengths and weaknesses? They begin with statistics and probability.
In this series of activities, students will apply probability (expressed as fractions and dice rolls) in order to design a baseball card which will be use
