2018 AISD Science + Mathematics X Conference

Origami, the art of paper folding, has fascinated and intrigued people of all ages for millennia, including our very own students. Accessible to all, requiring only a sheet of paper, new, used, or recycled, origami in the classroom offers a unique and motivating way to teach math and science concepts and problem solving, encourage creativity and inventiveness, and expose students to other cultures. As such, the intended audience is any and all teachers. Participants will fold models that reinforce geometric concepts, fractions, measurement, simple machines, data collection and graphing, storytelling, and reverse engineering.
