Description
Geometry comes alive with fun origami and engaging stories! Parents’ Choice Award-winner Motoko will use age-appropriate origami projects as a tool to develop students’ focus, imagination, and skills in spatial reasoning. Following her step-by-step instructions, students will create 2- and 3-dimensional objects; identify geometric features (such as angles, lines, and symmetry); and figure out areas and volumes while producing pieces of art. Multi-day residencies and PD workshops are also available.
Objectives
-Students will advance their knowledge of geometry and skills in spatial reasoning by creating 2- and 3-dimensional origami objects, analyzing their geometrical attributes, and solving mathematical problems.
-Students will experience origami both as a fun and imaginative art form, and as a modern practice with mathematical applications, and understand how art and science are interconnected.
-By working individually, in pairs, and in small groups, students will help and encourage one another, acquire patience and a positive attitude toward challenges, and nurture among themselves a culture of kindness.
