Wednesday: Fold a towel

Bennie spreads a big towel on the table.

"Half, then half again," he says.

"It got small! What do you notice?"

Half and half again

Folding makes it small and neat.

Lay the towel flat on a table.

Bring the bottom edge up to the top edge.

That is one half.

Now bring one side over to the other side.

That is half again. Smooth it and stack it.

  1. Lay the towel flat.
  2. Fold the bottom up to the top.
  3. Fold one side over to the other.
  4. Smooth it. Add it to the stack.
