I'm trying to make Joseph Wu's shark and I forgot how to precrease into fifths. Can someone help me please?

Above is a site which explains how to divide a square into any fraction

here too !

Download ReferenceFinder on http://langorigami.com, you should be able to find any reference point to start a model in various ways .

Another way to divide a square into fifths as well as thirds and sevenths can be found here:

these are all dead links, except for fishgoth, and his method does not divide into exact fifths. could anyone post a better link up?, thanks.

I made a quickhelp guide a couple of years ago, you can find it on my page

here's the fifths picture

thanks - that helps; if it isn't perfect, I guess it's down to the old ruler and calculator

Here's a link wiht my favorite method- I find it easier than the one mentioned above.

Hello,

Given that I once created a box starting with Fifths, I very often hear the complain, that folding Fifths gives some people headaches. Therefore I thought, I'd draw a diagram explaining the method I usually use. Please note that I didn't come up with the method myself but learned it somewhere along the way. Not sure who taught it to me initially but it gives accurate Fifths every time and it even works on rectangles other than squares.
