Follow the instructions for each section. If you need to construct a hexaflexagon, ask your teacher for materials.
1. In your own words, describe what a hexaflexagon is. What makes it unique?
2. A typical tri-hexaflexagon has how many faces that can be flexed into view?
2 faces
3 faces
4 faces
6 faces
3. A hexaflexagon is typically constructed from a strip of paper divided into a series of equilateral .
4. When flexing a hexaflexagon, you are essentially rotating sections of the paper to reveal a new .
5. All hexaflexagons have exactly three faces.
True
False
6. Below is a simplified diagram of a hexaflexagon strip before folding. Label the three faces (Face 1, Face 2, Face 3) on the triangles where they would appear after folding.
7. Imagine you are designing a hexaflexagon with four faces. How do you think the initial strip of paper would need to be different from a tri-hexaflexagon strip? Explain your reasoning.
