Folding a sheet into thirds is the process used for placing letters into envelopes.
Bring the bottom of the sheet up toward the center, but do not crease. At the same time, bring down the top of the sheet over the bottom. As the sections roll past each other, there is one position where they form a stack of three equal areas. You can crease at this point to make the shortest possible folded sheet.

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!
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.
