In this activity, you will need to use your brain to visualise some images in your head.

Now, imagine that piece of paper being folded in half along the dotted line:

Now we need to imagine what the piece of paper would look like once it has been unfolded again.
We have 3 possible options to choose from:
a)
b)
c) -16.png)
The correct answer is option b, as both holes will be in the same position on the top half of the paper.

Let’s try another: get ready to visualise!
The paper has been folded in a different direction and the white circles show where it has been hole-punched.

Once the paper has been unfolded, which image below shows what it would look like?
a)
b)
c) -21.png)
The correct answer is c, because two holes were punched in the centre of the paper and went through two pages which were directly on top of each other:
