    TEACHERs corner

    Editors: Shrikant Iyer and Rachel Katz

    We are delighted to launch this Teachers Corner


    feature of Creased. Over the course of the
    year, we will be creating 6 lesson plans with
    accompanying diagrams of one origami base and
    2 traditional models in each issue. The lessons
    will be geared for elementary to middle school
    students with an emphasis on math using NCTM
    standards. The diagrams of the models will be
    printed in the print magazine and the lesson
    plans, including the diagrams, will be available
    for everyone to download at www.creased.com/
    teachers.
    Most people think of origami as an art form or
    craft. We think of origami as the perfect tool for
    teaching people of all ages a multitude of skills,
    sometimes without them even knowing they are
    learning.
    Paper folding is a wonderful way to engage
    children in learning basic math concepts like
    shape, size, and numbers. The magic comes when
    they also learn patience and concentration as
    they make the fold neatly on their paper. They
    use their imagination as they see the beginnings
    of a bird emerging from the paper. They learn
    sequencing and problem solving as they realize
    that, to create an origami dog, specific steps must
    be followed in a logical order. As students practice
    models and learn more difficult models, their fine
    motor skills will also improve.
    Most importantly, students will gain self-esteem
    as they succeed in finishing a model and take

    pride in their work. They will know that sense


    of satisfaction we all feel when we have turned
    simple paper into a flower or butterfly, all to the
    amazement of those not familiar with folding.
    Students can learn to be teachers by showing
    others how to fold a model. Its a wonderful
    vehicle for getting students to share their skills and
    knowledge.
    All the lesson plans will be great resources for
    anyone teaching Paper Folding to beginners
    whether in a classroom or workshop or fun one-onone session of teaching.

    lesson plans and traditional diagrams.
