Origami Technique Project #Year3

IB PYP: Sharing the Planet: Dinosaurs
Origami is a tool for children to develop spatial and perception skills, learn mathematics, refine dexterity and hand-eye coordination, and improve concentration. Origami improves spatial visualization and mathematics skills.
Origami was invented by the Japanese about a thousand years ago. The word origami comes from the Japanese oru [“to fold”] and kami [“paper”]. It has become the generic description of the art form of folding paper. It is used as visual art and entertainment and has applications in mathematics, architecture, and medicine. There is no age limit; it is an art that entertains young and old. The constructions can even be used as space decorations.
After investigating this broadly known technique, students created and presented their origami.
