Today, we got distracted by some amazing math! The hexaflexagon is a folded device that can alternate between three (in a trihexaflexagon) or six (in a hexahexaflexagon) different faces. We discussed how this beautiful regular hexagon comes equipped with six lines of symmetry and a rotational order of six. The students created one for themselves BUT just in case you wanted to try yourself, check out the links below:
