When you’re wrapping a variety of shapes, it can be a challenge to wrap them neatly, but with a bit of measuring, thoughtful folding, and practice, your cuboid, pentahedron or equilateral triangular prism, cylinder, or squidgy-shaped presents can all look brilliantly and mathematically put together.
Mathematician Dr. Katie Steckles shares her logical and super tidy approach to mathematical present wrapping.
