Paper Folding

Origami, the oriental art of paper folding, is simple, appealing, and economical. I have used this craft successfully to teach upper elementary students concepts and skills in geometry involving polygons, angles, measurement, symmetry, and congruence. This approach also serves as an example of a geometric algorithm, a sequence of steps to get a result, not unlike the rules for adding whole numbers and so on.

Most elementary students have had some experiences in paper folding—either with origami or such simple activities as folding a sheet of paper in quarters or constructing a paper airplane. Also, by cutting and folding, students may have constructed cubes, open boxes, snowflakes, or chains for Christmas trees. Students show interest in such activities and the following series of simple folding and constructing activities may prove both pleasurable and mathematically rewarding. Through these activities, relationships of geometric shapes and regions may be examined; definitions in geometry, reviewed; statements of geometric theorems, visualized; and students' creative talents, exercised.

Statistical Issues

How would your students respond to the Raffle Scenario in figure 1? What information about your students' knowledge would help you plan instruction for statistical issues related to the Raffle Scenario? This article highlights students' thinking and instructional implications from two studies that examined upper-elementary students' written and oral explanations as they responded to survey situations.
