Walk Through a Business Card

Slide show

Materials:
1 business card, scissors
Directions:
Fold and cut the card in alternate directions. Clip the center-fold lines. Pull the card open. See illustrated directions below.
Safety Concerns:
None.
Questions:
Would you care to step into my card?
How could you make the card large enough to get your body inside it?
Concepts:
These alternate cuts actually convert the square area of the card into the perimeter of a larger rectangle. To "visualize" this, think of beginning a line with the first cuts from the fold at either end. The other cuts simply continue the line. This activity is good for building spatial or depth perceptions.
