Family Friday: ‘Great Balls of Paper!’

Goodness gracious, you can do a lot of geometry with simple paper units. In this program, part of the Family Fridays series at the National Museum of Mathematics, children will work with the mathematician Edmund Harriss to make interesting forms out of precut pieces of paper. Rules of geometry govern how these elements can fit together, and participants will learn about some of these principles, including recent revelations about four-dimensional space.
