1 March - "Mărţişor"
The name Mărțișor is the diminutive of marț, the old folk name for March (Martie, in modern Romanian), and thus literally means "little March". It is also the folk name for this month.
Mărțișor is names for the red and white string from which a small decoration is tied, and which is offered by people on the 1st day of March. Giving this talisman to people is an old custom, and it is believed that the one who wears the red and white string will be strong and healthy for the year to come. It is also a symbol of the coming spring.
A very popular symbol in relation to Martisor is the snowdrop flower, which is also considered in Romania symbol for spring time.

Introduction
Two spanish students have decided to introduce their school and welcome every body involved in the project.
Algebraic Identities with origami
In Spain, we carried out an activity to explain the demonstration of two important algebraic identities:
(a+b)²=a²+2ab+b²
(a-b)²=a²-2ab+b²
For such purpose we built two different figures using origami: a boat and a rooster

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?

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
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!
