One of the biggest challenges for teachers of mathematics is to make students apply the concepts that they have learnt in
school.
Folds formed while making the
origami models have geometry embedded in them. Origami offers a quick, easy and fun way to discover it.
We have designed lessons that use origami to help students-
Understand the meaning of various concepts like symmetry, congruence, similarity, etc
Notice the different geometrical terms they have learnt in school and understand their constructions … like angle bisector, perpendicular bisector, median, diagonal, vertex, side, angle, adjacent side, etc..
Applications of some concepts like area, perimeter, fractions, percentages, ratios, volume, etc.
“Playing with Shapes” is a series of self-paced activities for learning different Maths concepts using Origami.Click here for the std-wise curriculum. Sample Activity
