Paper People Chain Math

Math / Art that focuses on UNITY!! Kids explore symmetry, powers of 2 and multiplying fractions by creating a standard chain. - OR - by creating an alternating chain, they investigate reflection and patterns!! Paper people chain mathematics: visit Big Learning for details!

To construct an alternating paper people chain (right arm up, left arm up), draw a full figure on the top square of your accordion paper. Make sure the hands extend to touch the folds. For a regular paper people chain, you only need to draw half a person on the top square of your accordion.
