  1. Investigating Area by Folding Paper From Mark Driscoll's Fostering Geometric Thinking • Day 1 • 5-Minutes

  2. Investigating Area • For each problem, start with a square sheet of paper and make folds in the sheet of paper to construct a new shape, then explain how you know the shape you constructed has the specified area. • Construct a square with exactly 1/4 the area of the original square. Explain how you know it has 1/4 the area.

  6. Investigating Area • For each problem, start with a square sheet of paper and make folds in the sheet of paper to construct a new shape, then explain how you know the shape you constructed has the specified area. • Construct another triangle with exactly 1/4 the area of the original square that is not congruent to the previous triangle you constructed. Explain how you know it has 1/4 the area.

  8. Investigating Area • For each problem, start with a square sheet of paper and make folds in the sheet of paper to construct a new shape, then explain how you know the shape you constructed has the specified area. • Construct a square with exactly 1/2 the area of the original square. Explain how you know it has 1/2 the area.

  10. Investigating Area • For each problem, start with a square sheet of paper and make folds in the sheet of paper to construct a new shape, then explain how you know the shape you constructed has the specified area. • Construct another square with exactly 1/2 the area of the original square that is located in one of the four corners of the original square. Explain how you know it has 1/2 the area.
