Triggering Geometrical Habits of Mind by Origami Activity: Folding a Dodecahedron
Boz-Yaman, Burcak; Duatepe-Paksu, Asuman
Australian Mathematics Education Journal, v1 n4 p4-10 2019
The authors designed a course--Origami and Geometry--and describe one of the activities in which origami was used to fold a regular dodecahedron. They find that origami can provide students with concrete material for observing geometrical structures and give them opportunities to examine their thoughts on geometry.
