188- Transforming Geometry and Building Spatial Reasoning via Modular Origami

Friday, November 20, 2015: 9:45 AM-11:00 AM
Broadway Ballroom HJ (Omni Nashville)

 

Lead Speaker:
Peg Cagle


 

Come build face, edge, and skeletal models to see how unit origami can engage a wide range of students in deep 2- and 3-D geometric concepts including isometries (translations, rotations, reflections), symmetry, chirality, and duality. Folding becomes vocabulary review. Assembling takes visualization and reasoning. And resulting models invite further study.
