Answer:

physical change involving change of shape and size of matter

Step-by-step explanation:

The chemical makeup didnt change, it's still paper, just smaller pieces. The physical change here is the same as if you cut your hair, the hair is still hair, you just have a little less on your head and the rest is in your hand.
