Dramatic Results – InCreasing Math Origami Program

Origami techniques are being used for everything from air bags and heart valves to aeronautical equipment. Our latest program, increasing Math, helps students improve their math skills while exploring their creative side. Through learning the ancient Japanese art of paperfolding and studying its scientific and mathematical applications in today's world, increasing Math will allow students to create original artwork, study the importance of design and planning, conceptualize abstract math concepts and explore unexpected academic and career opportunities. Projects include making magazine and masu boxes and exploring their mathematical properties, trying to create paper chain structures that can hold the most weight possible, and exploring the use of Origami in aeronautical equipment, medical equipment, and other industrial uses. increasing Math meets California content standards for both Visual Art and Mathematics, while also addressing some of origami's applications in the scientific world.
