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 Math Graphing Activity

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 Activity

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 and Irrational Numbers Puzzle

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 Bracket Math Activity

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 math task about a linear relationship involved in flying a kite

Spring Linear Relationships

Help students see the connections between graphing in slope-intercept form, tables of values, equations, and stories with these spring-themed worksheets. Each one includes real world math context and multiple representations a linear functions.

Spring Math Logic Puzzles

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!

hands on lesson for using perimeters of polygons to discover pi

Discover Pi with Polygons

Celebrate Pi Day with a hands-on discovery lesson! Students use perimeters of polygons to estimate the circumference of circle and find pi (similar to how Archimedes did)!

This interactive activity exposes students to limits and calculus concepts in an approachable way, even in middle school.

Shamrock Coordinate Graphing Picture with Equations

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 with Circles

Circumference Discovery Activity

What better way to celebrate Pi Day than discovering circumference and pi with circular objects in the classroom or that students bring in?!

In this activity, students measure diameters and circumferences of circles. Then they create a scatter plot of the data and look for patterns.

St. Patrick's Day graphing activity

St. Patrick’s Day Personality Quiz

Students love personality quizzes, and this one is perfect for St. Patrick’s Day and March! They answer questions about things that often considered to be good luck. Then they connect points with colors based on their responses. They’ll end up with a 4-leaf clover that looks great hanging in the classroom.
