The book provides 16 engaging activities that use origami to explore mathematical concepts such as symmetry, angles, algebraic relationships, and geometric properties. Each activity includes clear folding instructions and assembly guidance, allowing students to create three-dimensional models that illustrate these mathematical principles. The activities are structured to progress in difficulty, both in terms of the folding techniques and the mathematical concepts involved. This progression helps students build their understanding incrementally. The book also introduces students to the art of origami and highlights contributions from noted origami experts like Tomoko Fuse and Kunihiko Kasahara. While the primary focus is on teaching mathematics, the inclusion of origami culture and artist vignettes enriches the learning experience. Designed for classroom use, the activities can typically be completed within a single class period and offer opportunities for group work, journal writing, and projects. The book also provides teaching strategies, assessment methods, and suggestions for extending the activities, making it a valuable tool for educators seeking to incorporate hands-on learning into their mathematics curriculum.. Very Good with no dust jacket .
