Folding polygon-base twist boxes is fun, useful, and an appropriate enrichment activity for math classes, math clubs, and individual mathematical experimentation alike. This article is a guide for the use of, and mathematics within, a set of discovery-based activities about the mathematics of folding polygon-base twist boxes. The mathematics ranges from plane geometry through trigonometry to calculus and contains at least one surprise. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
