Question 1

A 5×5 paper is folded at column 2 (left side over). A hole is punched through all layers. When unfolded, which pattern shows the resulting holes?
With offset folds, the hole positions are mirrored asymmetrically. The hole at position (5,1) on the folded paper creates multiple mirrored copies when unfolded.
fold, asymmetry, offset

Question 2

A square piece of paper is folded vertically (left side over right). A hole is punched through all layers at the marked position. Which pattern shows the holes when the paper is unfolded? Folded state (showing the punch position): ⬤ at position (row 2, col 2)
The paper was folded vertically. When folded, the hole punches through all layers. When unfolded, the hole appears mirrored across the fold line. The resulting pattern has 0 hole(s).
fold, symmetry, basic

Question 3

A 5×5 paper is folded at row 2 (top over). A hole is punched through all layers. When unfolded, which pattern shows the resulting holes?
With offset folds, the hole positions are mirrored asymmetrically. The hole at position (3,3) on the folded paper creates multiple mirrored copies when unfolded.
fold, asymmetry, offset

Question 4

A 8×8 paper is vertical fold, then vertical fold, then horizontal fold. A single hole is punched through all layers. Which pattern shows the holes after complete unfolding?
With 3 folds, the hole punches through 8 layers. When unfolded, you get 0 holes in a complex symmetrical pattern determined by the fold sequence.
fold, complex, multi-step

Question 5

fold, symmetry, basic

Question 8

A square piece of paper is folded vertically (left side over right). A hole is punched through all layers at the marked position. Which pattern shows the holes when the paper is unfolded? Folded state (showing the punch position): ⬤ at position (row 2, col 2)
