Topic : Kite. 4
Objective : To make a kite by paper folding and cutting.
Previous knowledge required :
1. Concept of cutting a triangle from a piece of paper.
2. Concept of kite fe., a kite has 4 sides (quadrilateral) in which exactly two
distinct consecutive pairs of sides are equal.
Materials required :
1, A white sheet of paper
2. Geometry box
3. Pencil colours
4. A pair of scissors
Gluestick
or
Preparation / Presentation for the activity :
1. Take a rectangular small piece of white sheet of paper ABCD as shown in
Fig. 4(a).1.
2. Fold the paper so that AD coincides with BC as shown in Fig. 4(a).2. To
obtain a new crease PQ,
3. Take a point R on plane ADQP, such that QR # RP to form a APQR as shown
in Fig, 4(a).3.
4. Cut the APRQ with the help of a pair of scissors as shown in Fig. 4(2).4.

5. Unfold the APRQ along PQ to obtain PRQR’ as shown in Fig. 4(a).5.
We obtain kite PRQR’ in which (i) PR = PR’
(i) QR=QR
