Crash Course in Origami!

Each year our Geometry teacher requires students to do origami and of course they come to me (I'm the Library Media Specialist and former science teacher) for help! I've learned a great deal about what NOT to do with origami and how BEST to help students with origami.

Each year though I have to take that CRASH course in learning valley folds and mountain folds and all the other technical terms. The kids and I both have a great deal of fun striving to produce the best models at the very last possible minute. Origami though we've learned totally rocks - even as a required geometry project!!
