Explore Geometry with Kites!
Can you make a kite shape from a single A4 size sheet of paper using only three folds? Can you make a kite from an A5 sheet (half the size)? Will the second kite be half the width of the first? half the area? Will it's angles be the same. What will be the size of the angles? (no protractors allowed). Will your kites tessellate? Can you put a number of kites together to make a symmetric design? What about 4 lines of symmetry and rotational symmetry of order 8.... is it possible? Can you write a procedure in Logo to draw a kite .... what designs can you make with your Logo kites? |
Here are some designs made using Logo
