BACK TO WORKSHEETS
In this activity, you will need to use your brain to visualise some images in your head.
Imagine that the square below is a piece of paper:

Now, imagine that piece of paper being folded in half along the dotted line:
-33(1).png)
Then visualise someone hole-punching two holes in the folded piece of paper as below:

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) -25.png)
b) -26.png)
c)-27.png)
The correct answer is a, as one hole was punched on the left-hand side and closer to the top while the other hole was punched on the right-hand side and closer to the bottom:

Let’s try another: get ready to visualise!
This one is more challenging, as the paper has been folded in half and then folded again! 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)-30.png)
b) -15.png)
c) -32.png)
The correct answer is b, because one hole was punched in the centre of a quadrant which would create four holes once unfolded:

It’s now your turn to visualise folding paper.

Pssstt! Here's a handy hint to help you reach superstar status: If you find this tricky, you could use a real piece of paper to help you. |
Good luck paper-folder!
