Can you cut a square out of the middle of a piece of paper using just ONE cut?
Spark your thinking!
1. Set up your STEAM mini spark recording page: # 21: STEAM Challenge: Fold and Cut
2. You will need 5-10 pieces of paper and a pair of scissors.
3. Your challenge is to fold your paper so that you can cut out square from the middle of the page with just ONE cut. Experiment with different folds until you discover the correct method.
4. Take a picture of your finished challenge and add it to your recording page
5. This document has many different shapes to use for your second challenge. Choose one page and make several copies of that one page.
6. Cut the paper down the middle on both sides to create little pieces with a shape in the middle. You can use these little pages to practice your folds.
7. Solve one more puzzle. Add a picture to your recording page.
8. Share your STEAM mini spark recording page with your teacher/EY coordinator.
