As part of Maths week Scotland we took part in an online origami lesson. We were asked to make cubes without using any glue or sellotape. We found this challenging but by preserving and applying our prior knowledge of growth mindset we were able to create 3D cubes using 6 small squares of paper.

Here are some pictures of our completed cubes.

We also found that those we had completed their 3D cubes were able to help other in the class to complete their cubes. We really understood the importance of working together to get to a shared goal.

Our knowledge of growth mindset and the importance of the word yet proved very useful while completing this activity.

Maya: It was really hard to start with but I couldn’t stop smiling once I had created my cube.

Zoe: It was really tricky trying to figure it all out and I wanted to give up but I knew I could do it if I kept on trying.

Cameron S: I felt amazing  when I  was finally able to piece my cube together and help Saif to make his cube.
