Directions:
1. Imagine you are a box manufacturer and you want to ship boxes flattened out. How many possible shapes of 6 squares could be folded into a box?
2. Using the square pattern and graph paper, make as many designs as possible. (Trace 6 adjoining squares in a pattern you decide upon.)
3. Cut out your pattern and fold to see if you can make a box of each in order to check your work.
