Hexaflexagons

So I watched a bunch of Vi Hart videos on hexaflexagons and became inspired to create my very own. You can check out her videos here: http://www.khanacademy.org/math/vi-hart  Hexaflexagons are interesting geometric shapes that seem to be normal hexagons, but then they flex, revealing a brand new side!  This video shows the two that I made and covered with marker.

  2. OK, I would love to! There are some that have eight different ways to flex called hexahexaflexagons, but I'm not that brave yet!
    For those of you who live far away you can find really awesome youtube tutorials and printouts to help you.
