This one-credit graduate level course will explore the relationship between the art of paper-folding and mathematical concepts including symmetry, planar and three-dimensional shapes, angles, multiplication, fractions, and similar topics. Included in the course will be historical perspective of Origami as an art form and its movement into structural and biological applications through modular and computational origami, both newer forms of this ancient art.
Participants will learn appropriate terminology and folding techniques to produce numerous examples for use in their grade level. One of the beauties of this art form is its ability to be applied at all grade levels and to similarly represent appropriate mathematical concepts. Participants will also explore the Internet for additional ideas, lesson plans, and pertinent literature for use in classroom settings. Every teacher will be able to complete the folds used in the creation of the geometric shapes used in this course.
