To make a 6-pointed snowflake, the first step is to begin with a square piece of writing paper and cut that sheet in half with a pair of scissors. Next, fold the paper diagonally to form a triangle and crease it firmly. Then, fold this triangle diagonally again in half to make a smaller triangle. After this, fold this smaller triangle into thirds forming even three smaller triangles so the tip has 3 folds 30 degrees apart from each other. Fold the left third over and line up as closely as possible to get it symmetrical. Cut the top of the paper at an angle and then use your creativity to make various cuts. Lastly, unfold the paper and see your snowflake!

How do you make 13 marks on a paper 24 inches wide?

Get a yardstick. Near one end of the paper, Line up one end with one edge of the paper. Line up 26" with the other edge of the paper. The yardstick will be at an angle. Make 13 marks (0, 2, 4 .. 24, 26). Slide the yardstick down the paper. Repeat the above. Connect corresponding marks. Congratulations! You have divided 24-inch wide paper into 13 equal parts. Now, your question is rather ambiguous -- for example, I can have my 4-year old make 13 marks with a crayon on 24-inch wide paper in about 3 seconds. But use the above technique to get what you want.


How do you make a 3D pentagon shape out of paper?

A pentagon is a 2-D shape. There is a 3-D shape with 12 faces, each a regular pentagon. It's called a dodecahedron. To make one out of (stiff) paper, you would cut out a "net", then fold and glue the edges. See related link for an illustration of a net you could print out.


Take a paper clip and two pencils create a homemade compass you may not bend or break the paper clip how many different size circles can you make?

You lay down the paper clip on a sheet of paper and use one of the pencils to hold the clip in place pointed side down. Next you take the other pencil and start drawing the circle. You can find a video on youtube that illustrates it. My son had this as a homework assignment, I found it very useful.


What is a7 paper?

Standard copying paper is A4, fold it in half and you get a A5. Fold it in half again and you get a A6, one last fold and you got a A7. So a A7 paper is a paper with the same proportions as a A4 paper but with 1/8 of the area. A7 size is 74mm x 105mm


What is a 2-dimensional shape?
