Pages 763-767 | Received 04 Jun 2016, Published online: 01 Feb 2017
 

ABSTRACT

Specifically, it explains an activity that constructs a rhombus and explores its attributes by using paper folding. The steps of constructing a rhombus are described and some discussion questions are given to consolidate understanding.
