Origami cube how to#
Update Extra How to Make a Square From a Rectangle You can now also talk about the properties of a cube namely: 12 sides 8 corners 6 faces, which could then lead into another lesson on the properties of other shapes.įor more detailed information about cubes go here. It's a lot of fun and both you and your children/class should enjoy it immensely. I hope you enjoyed this little lesson plan. S ome other points to note are that each flap is tucked into its nearest cover flap from the other piece.ĭon't try to reach out across the other side of the cube to tuck in the flaps.Īlso you can experiment with different colors to get the desired effect that you or the children in your care desire. That is up to you and your students but even a cube of 1 color can look spectacular if made well. six separate colors or just 2 or 3 complimentary colors. math, craft etc is up to you but it fits many educational areas.įirst of all you need to select six (6) pieces of colored origami paper. Where you decide to teach the actual lesson plan i.e. The order of the folding is the actual lesson plan content. I'll show you the steps now via photographs below. Sometimes I've demonstrated the construction method on the blackboard by pre-preparing each of the folding steps of the cube with the separate bits of origami paper and displaying them in order. Getting them to make it on their desk in front of them as you demonstrate out the front of the class, making it "vertically" on the blackboard is useful. The older they are obviously the more successfully and quickly they'll construct the cube but you can manage with a younger class, though with more help and much slower instructions.
I've been successful teaching this origami cube lesson plan from Year 2 (ages 7-8) to Year 6 (ages 11-12).
