Today we cut out some strips of paper that had dots and numbers on them as guidelines. Soon after we followed the video on the Murderous Maths website to make a Triflexagon.

A lot of people during the task became a bit frustrated because it was quite hard and fiddly. Even though the task was really hard we realised we had to have a growth mindset. Some people were saying “I give up”, “this is impossible”, “I can’t do this”. But in the end every single person managed to finish it.
