Constructing a rhombus through paper folding

Abstract

This paper presents an example of how paper folding can be used in a geometry class to support conceptual understanding. Specifically, it explains an activity that constructs a rhombus and explores its attributes by using paper folding. The steps of constructing a rhombus are described and some discussion questions are given to consolidate understanding. © 2017 Informa UK Limited, trading as Taylor & Francis Group.
