Patty Papers!

I thought those patty papers we used today in Shawn's activity were incredibly versatile, and something I had never seen-- found them for sale on Amazon. If this link doesn't work, you can just Google patty papers--Lots of choices--

Thank you for the info! I thought they were great. I especially liked the size--less waste. I was thinking of getting them for my eight year old.

If you are interested, there is a great book called Patty Paper Geometry, written by Michael Serra (published by Key Curriculum Press, I think), that I have used in the past with students in grades 6-8. There is much geometry that can be explored with patty paper.
