Shapes and More Shapes

I used a cylinder to make my bee.


We learnt how to make Cootie catchers. When we were folding them we used square, rectangle and triangle shapes.


                
               To make them we had to follow some instructions. 

  1. First we folded our paper to make a square. 
  2. Next we had to fold in the corners, then turn it over.  
  3. Then you fold the corners in to the middle again. 
  4.  Fold it in half again.  
  5. Push our thumbs and a finger into the corners to make them move. 
  6. Write maths problems on the inside.

Some of us liked the folding and some of us liked it when we could open it with our fingers.

  1. Thanks for the instructions! It looks like you had a lot of fun making these. Isn't it amazing how you can find shapes hiding in so many things?
