Presentation Transcript

  1. Understanding 2D geometry properties through the art of Paper Folding. Averil Lee

  2. Averil Lee Mathematics Facilitator Education Support Services University of Otago

  3. Folding Shapes This geometry activity has been adapted by Averil Lee (University of Otago) from the work of Gay West (NT, Australia).

  4. Folding Shapes A4 coloured paper can be folded to make many 2 D shapes with no measuring or cutting Follow the diagrams See if you can make the shapes Try these folds with A3 and A5 paper

  5. Can you name this shape? What can you tell me about this special quadrilateral? Look at the sides and angles . . . What about lines of symmetry? Will it tessellate? What shapes can you make with 1, 2, 3, or more of these kites? What are the functions of this shape, in real life?
