Hexaflexagons

The best way to experience the delights of hexaflexagons is to make one yourself. All you’ll need is scissors, a glue stick and a spare ten minutes.

First download the pdf template and print it out on A4 paper.

This specially designed template has been created to be easy to cut out and fold and is perfect for showing off the mathematical properties of the flexagon.

Make sure you carefully cut out the template and try to make the folds as exact as possible and your flexahexagon will flex smoothly and precisely and should amuse and delight any maths fans you might want to share it with.
