We constructed trihexaflexagons, hexahexaflexagons and tritetraflexagons in class using templates. Use your models to answer the following questions. 1. Start by considering the trihexaflexagon.
(a) How many sides does it have? You might try coloring your version or making it patterned. Draw pictures to illustrate each of the sides
(b) For any side you start on, which faces can you reach by folding? Are there any that you can't reach? Make a list to keep track of each face. Now consider the hexahexaflexagon.
(a) How many sides does it have? You might try coloring your version or making it patterned. Draw pictures to illustrate each of the sides.
(b) For any side you start on, which faces can you reach by folding? Are there any that you can't reach? Make a list to keep track of each face.
(c) Why do you think it is called a hexahexaflexagon?
Finally, consider the tritetraflexagons.
(a) How many sides does it have? You might try coloring your version or making t patterned. Draw pictures to illustrate each of the sides
(b) For any side you start on, which faces can you reach by folding? Are there any that you can't reach? Make a list to keep track of each face.
