Spring Math Activities
March means Pi Day, St. Patrick’s Day, the beginning of spring, basketball, and so much more!
I’ve rounded up some of my favorite math activities, games, and lessons for middle and high school students for spring. These are sure to keep students engaged and challenge them to think mathematically!
Spring Personality Test
Find out if students have a “spring personality” while practicing graphing ordered pairs on the coordinate plane.
Students mark if they agree or disagree with statements. Then they graph and connect ordered pairs using different colors depending on their responses to create a rainbow.
Pi Day Collaborative Poster
The whole class can join in creating this colorful poster to Celebrate Pi Day!
Students work with circumference, area, and circle properties to color their piece and reveal the design.
Rational & Irrational Numbers Puzzle
Identifying rational and irrational numbers just got a whole lot more fun! As students shade the irrational numbers, a message appears about Pi Day!
Basketball Ratios
March is the perfect month to do a “March Mathness” activity!
In this one, students look at win-loss ratios for basketball teams and try to determine where to place them in a bracket.
Spring Logic Puzzles
These picture equations get students thinking algebraically, and students LOVE them!
They could be used as bell ringers, an early finisher activity, or to start class discussions about systems of equations.
The 6 puzzles progress in difficulty. This set also includes one that could be used as an April Fool’s joke!
One-Step Equations
Students love mystery graphs, but this one has an extra challenge!
They must solve one-step equations with integers to reveal their ordered pairs. Then they graph the points to create a picture of a 4-leaf clover.
Circumference Discovery Activity
What better way to celebrate Pi Day than discovering circumference and pi?!
In this activity, students measure diameters and circumferences of circles. Then they create a scatter plot of the data and look for patterns.
