Jeanine Meyer Origami and Mathematics

Origami for a Mathematics General Education Course After giving a talk on the Dollar Bill Rosette in a Number Theory course, I was asked to design a math gen-ed course. My goal was to introduce (or re-introduce) topics in spatial relations, geometry, algebra, and pattern-finding as well as instill interest in doing origami. I will describe the course, given twice successfully. The material would work in high school, perhaps even middle school. I will demonstrate and discuss a few models, including the Dollar Bill Rosette and the Business Card Frog. The effort led to a book project: Origami with Explanations and More Origami with Explanations, scheduled for publication late Fall, 2020.
