James Tanton
By James Tanton on February 3, 2007
Format: Paperback
Thomas Hull has written a truly wonderful book. I say this as a teacher, as a lover of mathematics, and as a fellow who simply enjoys having fun.

Project Origami is full of surprises and depth. Written in a style that is immediate and approachable, Hull provides 22 enticing activities - all based on clever paper folding, of course - that gently leads the active(!) reader on a journey of personal discovery. What magic algorithm allows me to fold a strip of paper at the seven-sixteenth mark with ease? How can I fold an equilateral triangle from a square piece of paper? What's the largest one I can make? Trisecting an angle impossible? Not in origami world!

Looking for a meaningful way to lead students into group theory? Graph theory? Do you want a new way to approach conic sections? Do you want students to discover and *own* mathematics? (Do you want to do this for yourself?)

Hull is passionate about his work and it shines through in this text. I pick up this book and know immediately that a year's worth of math club activities, student research projects, math circle courses lie in my hands. Concrete connections to curriculum (upper high-school levels, undergraduate levels) are made clear, highlighting the relevance and importance of this material to mathematics education. Every teacher should take hold of this book.

But most important, Hull shares the joy of doing and exploring real mathematics and provides a route that all can pursue. Although this book might be marketed primarily for educators and for students, it truly is a book for *all* to enjoy.

Understanding Origami
By Michael Bühring on October 18, 2008
Format: Paperback
it's a book primarly for mathematics and Origami freaks. However, there is something for every level of skill in these topics. Very interesting approach of teaching geometric issues playfully. Even if one does not understand or is able to answer the questions, the explications give a lot of information to clarify the subject. You can skip the mathematics, too, and only go for the Origami foldings. The book could very nicely be linked to Robert J. Lang and his Origami programs, which run on MAC OS X, where you can create your own Origamis. In "Project Origami" you get some more back ground to how Origami "works" and it helps to understand the way to new, own Origamis. Needs some effort, time and work to get into it, but it's worth the trouble, I think. I am very pleased with my shopping.

Fun and illustrating exercises for an origami workshop for 10-15 year olds
By angelanana on August 30, 2013
Format: Paperback Verified Purchase
Fun and illustrating excercises for an origami workshop for 10-15 year olds. Dr. Robert Lang, who makes sophisticated structures that inspired me to get into origami when I was you, recommended it. (langorigami com) I used the "hyperbolic paraboloid," "self similar wave," "2-dimensional twist," and "miura map fold" - a fold Japanese scientists used for solar panels that were deployed in space! I made the advanced 3-4 hour versions of these, and taught the youth the simple version in the workshop. I also showed them examples of modular origami and crease patterns for some of the more complex insects, forest animals, etc, of Dr. Lang.

I even used the tetrahedron to make dice for someone else's group theory workshop!

Awesome projects
By Carley Biblin on August 10, 2013
Format: Paperback Verified Purchase
I purchased this for my husband who is teaching a high school geometry class using origami. The description and other users stated that this book could easily be applied to those grades. While that may be possible, it would require quite a bit of manipulation. That being said, there are about half a dozen that are immediately applicable to high school geometry.
