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

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?

How many more shapes can make?
Try ■ folding all the shapes in half■ joining some different shapes■ overlapping the shapes■ using larger paper A3■ using smaller paper A5, A6 etc (Record your investigations and have
fun!)
