How Do You Make 3D Shapes Out Of Paper?
Making three-dimensional shapes out of paper allows us to explore physical space and measurement. The process can be used to teach math, science or art. Use the shapes to make toys or calculate mass. The possibilities are endless, and all you need is imagination and a few simple tools. Start with a simple cube to learn the basics of folding and assembling three-dimensional objects using paper. Lay out the piece of paper so it is portrait style with the short edges at the top and bottom and the long edges at the sides. Measure one quarter inch from the top and draw a line across the top. Measure and mark with a pencil to divide the page into three, equal columns from top to bottom. Measure and mark with a pencil to divide the page into four, equal segments from right to left. This should leave you with a grid of four sections top to bottom and three columns left to right. You will form the cube out of the middle column vertically and the third horizontal strip from the top. Measure and
