Topic: Folding, Cutting, and Mathematical Thought
Topic: Folding, Cutting, and Mathematical Thought
Presenter: Dr. Kevin Hartshorn, Moravian College
Presenter: Dr. Kevin Hartshorn, Moravian College
Over the past several decades, there has been tremendous growth in origami design as mathematicians, computer scientists, and engineers have applied sophisticated techniques to developing new models. Along the way, we have been discovering — and re-discovering — ways that ideas from origami can help illuminate mathematical ideas at all levels. In this presentation, activities will be shared that can be used in a wide range of mathematics classrooms: many of origami projects can be scaled for almost any point on the Van Hiele scale. There will be an active participation component of the presentation, as the audience will be given a chance to try an activity for themselves.
