Download or read book Origami Dots written by Andy Parkinson and published by Tarquin Group. This book was released on 2020 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book is a collection of intriguing mathematical challenges that come from folding paper. All the challenges are the same, fold the corner of the paper to a given dot and find the area that remains uncovered. Despite the same question, a small move of the target dot can drastically change the logic needed to find the solution to the challenge. So the problems become increasingly complex, with possible solutions involving Pythagoras' and similar triangles as well as trigonometry and algebra. Insights learnt from earlier challenges can help with those that follow. However, if at point the challenge becomes too great, the answers can always be found by measurement with a ruler and directly calculating the area. The book encourages curiosity, a "find out what can you" discovery approach that creates interesting and varied journeys towards a solution. Starting with an approximate guess, these journeys are for all ages (10 years and over) to explore and discuss. To play concretely with paper while thinking and reasoning geometrically. Thus, for teachers the book provides a rich source of challenges that have a similar appearance, yet hide an obvious method and require students to choose how to approach the problem. Comparing solution methods when checking the answers is also useful as the solutions highlight some fascinating facts linked with these simple folds.

Download or read book Origamics Mathematical Explorations Through Paper Folding written by Kazuo Haga and published by World Scientific. This book was released on 2008-09-11 with total page 153 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: 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.
