Creating Shapes through Paper Folding and Paper Cutting

Let’s learn how to form diff erent shapes by paper folding and paper cu ng.

Creating Shapes through Paper Folding

Let’s make various shapes by paper folding, and count the number of sides and

corners.

Step 1: Fold a big square sheet of paper
as shown.

Step 2: You will obtain the shape of a
rectangle. Count its sides and

corners.

Step 3: Fold it again as shown. You will
obtain the shape of a square.

Count the number of sides and
corners.

Step 4: Fold it again to obtain the shape

of a triangle. Count the number
of sides and corners.

In this way, we can fold a paper to obtain diff erent shapes.
