Question 2
A paper is folded first vertically, then horizontally. Then a small triangle cut from the folded corner. What pattern appears when unfolded?
Two perpendicular folds create 4 layers. A cut through all layers appears in all 4 quadrants.
Question 3
This unfolded pattern shows holes at [(40, 30), (40, 70)]. How was the paper folded before the hole was punched?
Two vertically aligned holes indicate a horizontal fold.
Question 4
A paper is folded in half horizontally (bottom over top). A hole is punched at position (40, 30). What pattern appears when unfolded?
Hole Punch Symmetry - Horizontal Fold
Step 1: Paper folded horizontally creates top-bottom mirror symmetry.
Step 2: A hole punched at (40,30) goes through both layers.
Step 3: When unfolded, the hole appears at (40,30) and its mirror (40,70).
Result: Two vertically aligned holes.
Question 5
A paper is folded with 4-fold rotational symmetry (pinwheel fold). A hole is punched near one edge. What pattern appears when unfolded?
4-fold rotational symmetry creates 4 symmetric holes.
Question 6
A paper is folded with 4-fold rotational symmetry (pinwheel fold). A hole is punched near one edge. What pattern appears when unfolded?
4-fold rotational symmetry creates 4 symmetric holes.
Question 7
A paper is folded in half vertically. A small triangle cut from the folded edge. What pattern appears when unfolded?
When a vertical fold is cut, the cut appears mirrored across the fold line.
Question 8
A paper is folded in half vertically. A small triangle cut from the folded edge. What pattern appears when unfolded?
When a vertical fold is cut, the cut appears mirrored across the fold line.
Question 9
A paper is folded in half vertically. A small triangle cut from the folded edge. What pattern appears when unfolded?
When a vertical fold is cut, the cut appears mirrored across the fold line.
Question 10
A paper is folded first vertically, then horizontally. Then a small triangle cut from the folded corner. What pattern appears when unfolded?
Two perpendicular folds create 4 layers. A cut through all layers appears in all 4 quadrants.
Question 11
A paper is folded in half vertically. A small triangle cut from the folded edge. What pattern appears when unfolded?
When a vertical fold is cut, the cut appears mirrored across the fold line.
Question 12
A paper is folded with 4-fold rotational symmetry (pinwheel fold). A hole is punched near one edge. What pattern appears when unfolded?
4-fold rotational symmetry creates 4 symmetric holes.
Question 13
A paper is folded twice (quarter fold). A hole is punched at position (25, 25). What pattern appears when unfolded?
Hole Punch Symmetry - Quarter Fold
Step 1: Paper folded horizontally then vertically creates 4 layers.
Step 2: A hole punched at (25,25) goes through all 4 layers.
Step 3: When unfolded, the hole appears in all 4 quadrants.
Result: Four holes forming a square pattern.
Question 14
A paper is folded in half vertically. A small triangle cut from the folded edge. What pattern appears when unfolded?
When a vertical fold is cut, the cut appears mirrored across the fold line.
Question 15
A paper is folded in half horizontally. A small semicircle cut from the folded edge. What pattern appears when unfolded?
A semicircle cut on a horizontal fold creates a full circle when unfolded.
Question 16
This unfolded pattern shows holes at [(25, 25), (75, 25), (25, 75), (75, 75)]. How was the paper folded before the hole was punched?
Four holes in a square pattern indicate a quarter fold.
Question 17
A paper is folded in half horizontally. A small semicircle cut from the folded edge. What pattern appears when unfolded?
A semicircle cut on a horizontal fold creates a full circle when unfolded.
Question 18
A paper is folded in half vertically. A L-shaped cut from the folded edge. What pattern appears when unfolded?
An L-shaped cut on a vertical fold creates two mirrored L-shapes.
Question 19
A paper is folded first vertically, then horizontally. Then a small triangle cut from the folded corner. What pattern appears when unfolded?
Two perpendicular folds create 4 layers. A cut through all layers appears in all 4 quadrants.
Question 20
A paper is folded in half vertically. A small triangle cut from the folded edge. What pattern appears when unfolded?
When a vertical fold is cut, the cut appears mirrored across the fold line.
