Math in Motion - Origami in the Classroom K-8

Grades K-8.

By Barbara Pearl.

Origami is gaining STEAM. STEAM is gaining interest and supports STEM fields. Both CCSS-M and Progressions for geometry now recognize origami as a powerful teaching tool. These hands-on paper-folding exercises invite children to unfold the beauty, symmetry, and art of mathematics. The practical, simple see it, say it, write it format teaches students to write mathematically while developing core principles and standards, cross curricular, and language comprehension skills. Discover how to teach number sense, counting and cardinality, spatial relationships, measurement and data, fractions, and more. Learn to make connections with experimental lessons that investigate geometric shapes, patterns, and abstract concepts that engage every child. Kit includes a resource binder with new full color illustrations, 125 page activity book with 8 additional new bonus pages of resources and activities, and fifty 6 in. paper squares in assorted colors.
