The child is already familiar with the shape of the wooden sphere, which is the same as the ball of the first gift.
When Japan opened its borders in the 1860s, as part of a modernization strategy, they imported Fröbel's Kindergarten system—and with it, German ideas about paperfolding. This included the ban on cuts, and the starting shape of a bicolored square. These ideas, and some of the European folding repertoire, were integrated into the Japanese ...
The missing square puzzle is an optical illusion used in mathematics classes to help students reason about geometrical figures; or rather to teach them not to reason using figures, but to use only textual descriptions and the axioms of geometry. It depicts two arrangements made of similar shapes in slightly different configurations.
A square is a parallelogram with one right angle and two adjacent equal sides. [1] A square is a quadrilateral with four equal sides and four right angles; that is, it is a quadrilateral that is both a rhombus and a rectangle [1] A square is a quadrilateral where the diagonals are equal, and are the perpendicular bisectors of each other.

The fold-and-cut problem asks what shapes can be obtained by folding a piece of paper flat, and making a single straight complete cut. The solution, known as the fold-and-cut theorem, states that any shape with straight sides can be obtained. A practical problem is how to fold a map so that it may be manipulated with minimal effort or movements.
