  • Origami provides interest for even our most reluctant students. Learn how to use modular origami to construct a stellated octahedron. Then use your model to explore crucial concepts in geometry, measurement, and algebra. Who knew that twelve congruent squares could spark such rich discussion of mathematics? No prior folding experience is necessary.
