Session Format
Presentation Session (45 minutes)
Location
Room 2904
Abstract for the conference program
The session will allow participants to make a nontraditional origami box and explore various mathematical properties of the constructed box.
The session will give participants, especially teachers, an opportunity to understand and experience how many of the process standards can be addressed through origami. For instance, the participants will solve challenging mathematical problems that involve geometric and algebraic thinking. Participants will get a chance to see how origami can create a context for rich mathematical thinking in middle-school, high-school and beyond.
