Ma Baker's Origami And Paper Folding Web Quest Page is about cranefolding and the art of origami with a few if you want to teach others how to do folding a paper crane is like making peace some http://education.nmsu.edu/webquest/wq/origami
Extractions: Ma Baker's Origami and Paper Folding Web Quest Page Origami is the art of folding paper into decorative objects. The term origami is the Japanese word for folded paper . There are about 100 traditional origami figures, most depicting such natural forms as birds, flowers, and fish. An abstract, ceremonial form of origami called noshi, is a pleated paper ornament attache to gifts. Most origami is folded from an uncut square of paper.The most common sizes of square are 6-inches and 10-inches. The preferred paper is thin Japanese paper called washi , but foil-backed wrapping paper, heavy art paper, and typing paper can be used. Origami, like paper, originated in China but flourished in Japan. The purpose of this page is to introduce students to the art of origami and to the various methods of folding paper. Paper folding activities related to geometry help to motivate student interest in mathematics. The process of producing a paper figure allows students to learn to follow directions, to become motivated, to use a visual aide for better understanding of mathematical concepts, and to complete a project through their own perseverance.

Extractions: Origami Sites for Beginners to Enthusiasts Host Rich Gray It is the old meeting the new, the cultured elegance of origami running smack up against the electronic ripple of the Internet. While it may seem odd to some that this delicate art of paper-folding would thrive in the world's largest paperless medium, that's exactly what it's doing. There are numerous sites on the World Wide Web dedicated to origami. They range from simple "look-what-I-did" photo collections to intricate galleries built upon reams of information. So if you're ready to move beyond the crumpled paper-ball stage (makes a mean projectile though, doesn't it?), follow me as we head into the fold. Paper fold, that is. Joseph Wu's Origami Page For sheer beauty and complexity of design, you just can't beat this site. The photo gallery with its Creatures of Myth should give you a pretty clear idea of what can be achieved with origami and a lot of experience. Joseph also provides links to numerous other origami sites, as well as pointing to folding diagrams in several different formats (GIF, PDF, Postscript). A real source of inspiration! The Garden of Origami The Garden of Origami is another great site to start with. A strong Oriental feel runs through this site, from the simple-yet-elegant design to the recurrent theme of origami as philosophy. There are extensive links to folding patterns on the Internet, as well as a great section on using origami in the classroom to teach such things as geometry and Oriental culture. This is a great resource for teachers.
Origami & Math great origami challenges that you might enjoy trying to solve. These puzzles involve folding a piece of paper so that If you teach grades K8, then http://www.paperfolding.com/math
Extractions: So, you're interested in origami and mathematics...perhaps you are a high school or K-8 math teacher, or a math student doing a report on the subject, or maybe you've always been interested in both and never made the connection, or maybe you're just curious. Origami really does have many educational benefits . Whether you are a student, a teacher, or just a casual surfer, I have tried my best to answer your questions, so please read on. So exactly how do origami and math relate to each other? The connection with geometry is clear and yet multifaceted; a folded model is both a piece of art and a geometric figure. Just unfold it and take a look! You will see a complex geometric pattern, even if the model you folded was a simple one. A beginning geometry student might want to figure out the types of triangles on the paper. What angles can be seen? What shapes? How did those angles and shapes get there? Did you know that you were folding those angles or shapes during the folding itself? For instance, when you fold the traditional waterbomb base, you have created a crease pattern with eight congruent right triangles. The traditional bird base produces a crease pattern with many more triangles, and every reverse fold (such as the one to create the bird's neck or tail) creates four more! Any basic fold has an associated geometric pattern. Take a squash fold - when you do this fold and look at the crease pattern, you will see that you have bisected an angle, twice! Can you come up with similar relationships between a fold and something you know in geometry? You can get even more ideas from this presentation on

Extractions: These pages are an attempt to begin collecting information on the mathematics of paper folding. Anyone who has practiced origami has probably, at one time or another, unfolded an origami model and marveled at the intricate crease pattern which forms the "blueprint" of the fold. Clearly there are some rules at play in these collection of creases. Clearly there is an origami geometry at work when paper is folded. Unfortunately, much of the above-mentioned work is new, and at the time of this writing there are few good references for this type of information. These pages will try to help solve this problem by providing an extensive bibliography for origami-math, list upcoming lectures and events, and offer instructions and tutorials for select topics.

Extractions: There are many different interpretations on the origin of origami. The common thread between the differing opinions is its parallel to the various countries' invention and development of paper. Ts'ai Lun of China invented paper in AD 105 using bamboo strips as a mold for strips of bark from a mulberry tree. This ancient secret was passed down from generation to generation and was kept strictly within China's borders for nearly 500 years. It is believed that in the late 6th century or the early 7th century, the art of papermaking was introduced into Japan. Some believe that paper folding was discovered first in China with the invention of paper and brought along to Japan when the art of papermaking was introduced. Others argue that origami is a Japanese invention claming that there are no known Chinese records of early paper folding. Regardless of the differing opinions, it is quite evident that the art of paper folding was most fully developed in Japan.

Extractions: My Great-Aunt introduced me to many things - astronomy, biology, and origami. This was in her personal library and when I'd visit we would always pull it out and make at least one of the figures in the book. She had already managed to do nearly every figure but she was patient and I would try my best to keep up. When she died, I looked for the book but it had mysteriously disappeared. I saw that it was back in print and I snatched a copy up right away. This is the best folding book that I have ever run across. It has models that range from the very simple to the VERY difficult. You can fold out of this book for a lifetime and never fail to learn something or see something new. A great book... grab it while you can and fold your heart out!
