MrSmith Posted August 30, 2014 Share Posted August 30, 2014 A hexahexaflexagon is a 6-faced hexagon that flexes... agon and agon :lol: Apparently there are many different flavors of these puzzlers. DS is currently working his magic on this one: http://loki3.com/flex/rhombus.html Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tree Frog Posted August 31, 2014 Share Posted August 31, 2014 Both my 13 yo and 15 yo loved this one and the couple of others that follow. Ds is currently trying to make his own. Great video! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wapiti Posted September 1, 2014 Share Posted September 1, 2014 Thanks for posting this! Dd13 has been making lots of these ever since she saw me looking at this thread last night. She has now rediscovered Vi Hart's videos and is still watching as I write this :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Arcadia Posted September 1, 2014 Share Posted September 1, 2014 We had fun a few years back. We like Martin Gardner's book on it. Link is to the hexaflexagon chapter of the book on MAA's website. http://www.maa.org/sites/default/files/pdf/pubs/focus/Gardner_Hexaflexagons12_1956.pdf ETA: An old thread about crocheting one http://forums.welltrainedmind.com/topic/429833-hex-a-flexagon-crochet/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

blue daisy Posted September 29, 2014 Share Posted September 29, 2014 That was fun! I showed it to my 9 and 7 year old, and we also watched part 2 and the Hexaflexagon Safety video - so funny! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dmmetler Posted September 29, 2014 Share Posted September 29, 2014 We made these for my MathMagic class for a HP co-op last year. Lots of fun for the older kids :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
