Six-pointed Stars
Fold a square of paper in half.
And fold that in half again.
How can you cut this to make a
symmetrical 6 pointed star? *
Make lots of identical ones, and see how many different ways they can be
fitted together
This one has equilateral triangle gaps.
What other gaps are they? What do they have in common?
* Hint – fold the corner of the quarter into thirds and make one straight
line cut
