Winter Crafts...with Math!

As it gets colder out and we start seeing the first snowfall of the season, it can be hard to keep ourselves entertained while we're stuck inside. But never fear! We have the perfect seasonal craft to keep your hands and brain busy. 'Tis the season for paper snowflakes!

For this craft, all you really need is a sheet of paper and a pair of scissors. You may want to grab a protractor if you've got one handy, but it's not required!

Youtuber and mathematician Victoria Hart (known as vihart through her channel) shows us how to make beautiful - and symmetrically accurate! - snowflakes in this fun and educational video.
