Science, Mathematics and Technology Origami mathematics –includes the mathematics that describes the underlying laws of origami Computational origami –comprises algorithms and theory devoted to the solution of origami problems by mathematical means Origami technology –the application of origami (and folding in general) to the solution of problems arising in engineering, industrial design, and technology in general.

Science More and more scientists are integrating origami into studies. Folding and unfolding problems have applications in robotics, hydraulic tube bending, and have connections to protein folding, sheet-metal bending, packaging, and air-bag folding.

Paper Manufacturing Although paper manufacture itself was invented and refined in China between 2000 and 1500 years ago it is from Japan that the first references come that relate to using paper to create folded models. ependentlens/between -the-folds/film.html Michael LaFosse

Counting Shapes What shape is the origami paper? When you fold the paper in half, what shapes do you see?

Counting Shapes Fold the paper again. Open up the paper and count the number of rectangular regions you see.

How many rectangular regions do you see? Count each section Next, combine sections that touch 1,2 2, 4 3,4 1,3 Last combine all the sections 1, 2, 3, 4

How many rectangular regions do you see how? Fold the paper another time.

How many rectangular regions do you see how? Unfold the paper and count all of the rectangular regions. Remember to make a list Count each section Next, combine sections that touch 1,21,55,6,72,3,4,6,7,8 3,72,66,7,8 2,33,75,6,7,8 3,44,81,2,5,6 5,61,2,32,3,6,7 6,72,3,43,4,7,8 7,81,2,3,41,2,3,5,6,7 Last combine all the sections 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8,
