The art of origami, or paper folding, is carried out using a square
piece of paper to obtain attractive figures of animals, flowers or
other familiar figures. It is easy to see that origami has links
with geometry. Creases and edges represent lines, intersecting
creases and edges make angles, while the intersections themselves
represent points. Because of its manipulative and experiential
nature, origami could become an effective context for the learning
and teaching of geometry. In this unique and original book, origami
is an object of mathematical exploration. The activities in this
book differ from ordinary origami in that no figures of objects
result. Rather, they lead the reader to study the effects of the
folding and seek patterns. The experimental approach that
characterizes much of science activity can be recognized throughout
the book, as the manipulative nature of origami allows much
experimenting, comparing, visualizing, discovering and
conjecturing. The reader is encouraged to fill in all the proofs,
for his/her own satisfaction and for the sake of mathematical
completeness. Thus, this book provides a useful, alternative
approach for reinforcing and applying the theorems of high school
mathematics.
