A.M.E. - ART & MATH EXHIBITIONLoading...
Loading...
Students are through the eTwinning project A.M.E. created a series of wonderful works based on mathematics and mathematical principles.
We have set up an exhibition of all the works. Through the classes we have presented all works to other classes and discussed the mathematical concepts behind these works.

MATHEMATICAL ORIGAMI
Origami is an old traditional Japanese art of bending paper into various models without using scissors and glue.
We differentiate between traditional and modular origami.
In traditional origami, the construction is performed using a single sheet of paper having square or rectangular shape.
In modular origami, different individual parts are connected to one unit.
Origami has its application in mathematics, but also in other fields such as electrical engineering or optics. Origami is also a source of fun. Origami can create thousands of different objects, from dragons and birds across the flowers to various mathematical models. More complex mathematical models are made primarily using modular origami.

Visualization in the teaching of mathematics has a great role to play. Many axioms, theorems and definitions are easier to understand if they get their visuals. Origami can be applied in teaching mathematics to visualize certain geometric terms. The advantages of origami are numerous. Creating an origami model is appropriate for working in groups because team work is being realized by socialization as well. Pupils adopt new mathematical concepts and observe new relationships in space or plane. For bending paper, they use their own hands that follow a number of steps and give visible results. In order for the result to be successful, steps must be taken in exactly the same way. Thus, skill and precision are developed. Origami in mathematics can represent three-dimensional geometry, central and basic symmetry, polygons, Plato's body, and other polyhedra, parallelism, verticality, intersection directions, plane crossing, conformance and similarity, surface and volume, angles and symmetry of corner ... We can also prove some theorems.
