Illustrative Mathematics: 8.ee Folding a Square Into Thirds

Curated by ACT

This exercise begins with students folding a square piece of paper according to directions and aligning it on a coordinate grid. They then must find and solve a pair of linear equations which can be used to understand how to fold a piece of origami paper into thirds. Aligns with 8.EE.B and 8.EE.C.8.
