Learning basic geometry concepts through paper folding - Secondary School of Paranesti

Students of the Secondary School of Paranesti learn basic geometry concepts through paper folding.

Questions asked:
1) When two lines intersect how many points do they have in common?
2) When two lines intersect how many angles are formed?
3) What is the relationship of these angles?

Learning exponential functions through paper folding - Ataturk Ortaokulu

Students of the Ataturk Ortaokulu school learned exponential growth and decay through paper folding. Watch their video!

How many times would you have to fold a piece of paper to reach the moon?

This video introduces students to the concept of exponential growth. By seeing what happens when folding just one piece of paper, we see the unbelievable potential of exponential growth. So, the question of the video is: how many times would you have to fold a piece of paper to reach the moon?

1st activity - Basic geometry concepts & paper folding

The first activity of our project is about basic geometric concepts. We will define plane, point, particular plane, point, ray, line, and line segment.
But, before saying more about our activity, do you know who is the person in the painting? Also, do you know what "geometry" means?
If you do not, then perhaps you should read the following pages in Wikipedia:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Euclid

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Geometry

Now, can you answer the questions above? Leave your answer as a comment in this post!

And the title of the project is... See the results of the poll!

Choosing the best title for a project is hard. That's why all partner classes discussed and brainstormed ideas about the title of the project.We collected the best ideas and organised a poll to select the most suitable one for our project. In total, 64 students and teachers took part in the poll and most of them selected "Let's GO! (Geometry & Origami)" for the title of the project. See in the screenshot below the results in detail:

Thank you all for your participation in this poll!

So, from this day we apply the title "Let's GO! (Geometry & Origami)" to the blog replacing the old one "Origami & Maths". Also, we change the URL of the blog from "http://mathematicalorigami.blogspot.com/" to "http://letsgeometryorigami.blogspot.com".

We are looking forward for further activities!

Vote for your favourite project title!

Our project on maths and origami is about to start, but we still miss a title for it! Students from Turkey, Greece, Spain, and Romania brainstormed ideas for the project title and a poll has been created to select the most favourite one! The poll is located in the sidebar. In total, there are five choices:

• Let's GO! (Geometry & Origami)
• Let's GO together! (Geometry & Origami)
• Origamathematics
• Origami mathstyle
• Eurogami's maths club

Take part in the poll and choose your favourite title! Bear in mind that you can choose more than one title and that the poll will be open till Sunday 13 December 2015!
