Flextangle

Today we made a Flextangle which is 3d pattern which we made using folded paper we thought carefully about the colours we chose. We chose to do hot colours on one side and cold colours on the other side the reason we did this is because contrasting colours stand out more and make the art pop more. This was a maths activity which is pretty cool that we got to do this for maths but it did have some geometry elements implemented and the folding was a bit difficult.
