Extractions: Ma Baker's Origami and Paper Folding Web Quest Page Origami is the art of folding paper into decorative objects. The term origami is the Japanese word for folded paper . There are about 100 traditional origami figures, most depicting such natural forms as birds, flowers, and fish. An abstract, ceremonial form of origami called noshi, is a pleated paper ornament attache to gifts. Most origami is folded from an uncut square of paper.The most common sizes of square are 6-inches and 10-inches. The preferred paper is thin Japanese paper called washi , but foil-backed wrapping paper, heavy art paper, and typing paper can be used. Origami, like paper, originated in China but flourished in Japan. The purpose of this page is to introduce students to the art of origami and to the various methods of folding paper. Paper folding activities related to geometry help to motivate student interest in mathematics. The process of producing a paper figure allows students to learn to follow directions, to become motivated, to use a visual aide for better understanding of mathematical concepts, and to complete a project through their own perseverance.

Extractions: Circle and Whale Origami in Geometry By Litao Wang Grade: 3rd Venue: Geometry Instructional Goal: This project is designed to effective student learning with the aid of technology (digitalized video and interactive video). Students will be able to identify and distinguish the five basic definitions (circle, circumference, origin, radius and diameter) of a circle. Each of them will have experience of paper-folding activity by going though self-paced interactive video. Transforming a flat piece of paper into a three dimensional figure is a unique exercise in spatial reasoning. Origami is a fun way to be used in teaching geometry; for many of the folds, whatever is done to one side, is likewise done to the other side. In addition, paper-folding allows students to create and manipulate basic geometric shapes such as squares, rectangles, and triangles. Duration of Instruction: 45 minutes Delivery System: A traditional classroom with computers Draw attention: Content Presentation Give non-example and example for diameter.

This is a preliminary mockup of an origami folding interface which appropriates the original language of folding symbols into a graphical interface for operations on virtual paper. This interface will also serve as a way to teach newcomers what each symbol means in an interactive manner. This interface is intended less as "origami simulation" so much as it aims to celebrate the beautiful illustrated instruction books intended to teach origami folding. it presents the folding instructional symbols as an interactive interface.
Student Origami Exhibit He has been folding origami for 6 years. Martin and Erik Demaine developed the paper folding methods for Hyparhedra polyhedral sculptures based on http://web.mit.edu/arts/special_programs/studentp/origami.html
Extractions: The competition was designed to promote interest in origami in the MIT community and showcase student work. It is sponsored by the Office of the Arts/Special Programs, the MIT Japan Program, and the Office of Erik Demaine. Models are made entirely by folding, that is no glue or tape can be used, although they could be modular. The judging panel is made up of members of the MIT community; this year the judges were alumna Elsa Chen, Anne LaVin, and Jennine Mosely, Asst. Prof. Erik Demaine, and Visiting Scientist Marty Demaine. Some examples of student's work: "MIT Pleat Fold" by Howard Kellogg Past Origami Contest Winners About the judges : Erik Demaine is an assistant professor in EECS who, in addition to enjoying folding paper, studies origami mathematically and algorithmically. He is currently co-authoring a book on folding and unfolding together with Joseph O'Rourke. Erik is also collaborating with Robert Lang to understand the algorithmic design process of origami and implementing these ideas into a program called TreeMaker. Erik writes a bimonthly column for Imagiro, an origami zine. He has been folding origami for 6 years.
K's Origami : History Of Origami We did not call paper folding origami in Japan until Showa era. So teachers tend to misunderstand that origami is mere imitation, and exclude it from http://origami.ousaan.com/library/historye.html
Extractions: We know very little about the origin of origami. Some say origami originated in China around 2000 years ago. But it is probably wrong. This opinion is based on the conjecture that origami started right after the invention of paper, for which we have no evidence. The paper of Former Han dynasty shows no trace of origami. The Chinese character for paper, zhi, originally stood for writing material made of silk. The origin of the Japanese word for paper, kami, is said to be birch tree, kaba, or strips of wood or bamboo, kan. Both of them were also writing material. These suggest that paper was primarily writing material, not folding. Others say origami originated from Japan in Heian era. Again, it is probably wrong. They refer to a story of Abe-no Seimei who made a paper bird and turned it to a real one, or another story about Fujiwara-no Kiyosuke who sent his ex-girlfriend a fake frog. There is no reason, however, for believing that they folded paper to make them. In Japan, we use wrapping paper called tatogami or tato. Today we mainly wrap kimono with it. It actually dates back to Heian era. But it is by no means an example of origami, since it is folded just squarely.
K's Origami : Origami Tips Use thin and crisp paper. origami paper (sometimes called kami) or It takes three to five times longer time to teach a model than to fold it alone. http://origami.ousaan.com/library/tipse.html
Extractions: Use thin and crisp paper. Origami paper (sometimes called kami) or photocopy paper will work. Don't use expensive paper at first. Read the book from beginning. You must be familiar with the symbols and basic folds. Learn before folding. Look at the diagrams carefully. Make sure you follow the sequence exactly as numbered. When lost, compare the diagram with the next one, and guess how to make it as described in the next diagram. If you can't figure out, begin again from the first step. Fold neatly. Make sure the corners and/or edges meet each other accurately and precisely. Don't make haste. Fold firmly. Fold on a solid surface and press on the creases with your fingers. Some folders use tools such as a folding-bone. Practice and practice each model. No one can fold it well at the first time. You can take a break when you feel tired or frustrated. Leave it until tomorrow. Enjoy origami! Wash your hands before you fold. It's important if you want to make a beautiful model. Imagine how your model will look like, and choose suitable paper. Choose paper according to the model; or choose a model according to the paper.
Creased.com - Origami Definition And History origami is an ancient art of folding various mediums, most commonly paper. Some believe that paper folding was discovered first in China with the http://www.creased.com/origami/origamidefinition.htm
Extractions: There are many different interpretations on the origin of origami. The common thread between the differing opinions is its parallel to the various countries' invention and development of paper. Ts'ai Lun of China invented paper in AD 105 using bamboo strips as a mold for strips of bark from a mulberry tree. This ancient secret was passed down from generation to generation and was kept strictly within China's borders for nearly 500 years. It is believed that in the late 6th century or the early 7th century, the art of papermaking was introduced into Japan. Some believe that paper folding was discovered first in China with the invention of paper and brought along to Japan when the art of papermaking was introduced. Others argue that origami is a Japanese invention claming that there are no known Chinese records of early paper folding. Regardless of the differing opinions, it is quite evident that the art of paper folding was most fully developed in Japan.

Origami & Paper Folding Resources While it may seem odd to some that this delicate art of paperfolding would Another flavor of origami is modular origami, or the art of folding paper to http://www.folksonline.com/folks/hh/tours/1999/origami.htm
Extractions: Origami Sites for Beginners to Enthusiasts Host Rich Gray It is the old meeting the new, the cultured elegance of origami running smack up against the electronic ripple of the Internet. While it may seem odd to some that this delicate art of paper-folding would thrive in the world's largest paperless medium, that's exactly what it's doing. There are numerous sites on the World Wide Web dedicated to origami. They range from simple "look-what-I-did" photo collections to intricate galleries built upon reams of information. So if you're ready to move beyond the crumpled paper-ball stage (makes a mean projectile though, doesn't it?), follow me as we head into the fold. Paper fold, that is. Joseph Wu's Origami Page For sheer beauty and complexity of design, you just can't beat this site. The photo gallery with its Creatures of Myth should give you a pretty clear idea of what can be achieved with origami and a lot of experience. Joseph also provides links to numerous other origami sites, as well as pointing to folding diagrams in several different formats (GIF, PDF, Postscript). A real source of inspiration! The Garden of Origami The Garden of Origami is another great site to start with. A strong Oriental feel runs through this site, from the simple-yet-elegant design to the recurrent theme of origami as philosophy. There are extensive links to folding patterns on the Internet, as well as a great section on using origami in the classroom to teach such things as geometry and Oriental culture. This is a great resource for teachers.

But to origami enthusiast Joe Hamamoto, it is an opportunity to create something special. He takes the sheet, folds it in half, unfolds it, then folds it in half another way. He folds corners in, unfolds them, folds them another way. Suddenly, there's a hitch. "I've made a mistake," he says. Fortunately, it's fixable, and after backtracking a step or two, Hamamoto proceeds. A minute or two later, the scrap paper has been transformed into a delicate box, with wings protruding from each corner, making it look almost like a flower in full bloom. "It's called a mysterious box," Hamamoto says, adding it to the myriad paper creations he has brought to show a curious reporter and photographer on a gloomy Monday afternoon at the Burns Miller Japanese Garden at Cal State Long Beach.
