As students create these containers, their understanding of the characteristics of these shapes is developed and reinforced by the geometric vocabulary used. For grades 5-8!

Origami Boxes Workshop In-Person at Flushing Town Hall

In this workshop, students are guided in folding two types of origami boxes and learn about the characteristics of rectangular prisms and the related geometric vocabulary. A question-answer session is included. For grades 3-8!

This workshop guides each student in the folding of the 7 geometric pieces of the ancient Chinese Tangram puzzle. After making the set of puzzle pieces, students are given a game in which they are challenged to put the puzzle pieces together to form a variety of polygons (e.g. triangle, trapezoid, etc). This activity focuses on the basic geometric shapes that students are learning in school, helping to reinforce their knowledge of geometry. For grades 2-4!
