What can you make from a sheet of paper that has only one side, where inside equals outside? The answer is a Möbius band, of course, the one-sided paper loop. In this activity, students in grades 3 and 4 explore a mathematical conundrum: How do we determine the number of sides an object has, and how can it be that this object has only one side? Through guided discovery, students find their own answers, making this a great lesson for developing their inquiry skills.
