Properties of Lines &amp; points can be studied even through paper folding activities. Some are given here.


 * 1) Fold a simple paper plane. Throw it in the air and see if it glides smoothly.
 * 2) Fold a line.
 * 3) Fold a line which intersects with the first line
 * 4) Fold a line which intersects with the first line but with a larger angle of intersection.
 * 5) Fold a line which is parallel to the first line
 * 6) Fold a line perpendicular to the first line
 * 7) Mark 2 points on the paper. Fold a line which passes through both the points.
 * 8) Find the point on the line folded in (6) which is equidistance from both the points.
 * 9) Mark 3 points on the paper. Fold a line which passes through the 3 points.
 * 10) Fold a cone
 * 11) Fold a cone with a bigger base than that in (10)
 * 12) Cut out a shape which can fold into a cone which can rest stably on a table surface
 * 13) Fold a cylinder
 * 14) Cut a shape which can fold into a square or rectangular box with one side open.
 * 15) Fold a paper, without cutting, into a flat triangle
 * 16) Fold a paper, without cutting, into a triangle with 2 sides which are equal.
 * 17) Fold a paper, without cutting, into a rectangle
 * 18) Take a paper strip, shaped like a ribbon, and fold into a 5 sided figure
 * 19) Make a Mobius Strip. Find out how many faces, edges and corners it has.
