Dear Parent, Please carefully read the following information that describes your child's project in a unit entitled "Math in Origami." We believe that this project represents a wonderful and valuable learning opportunity for your child and believe it is very important that you understand all aspects of the project so that your child will meet with the highest level of success. For the next six weeks in his/her math class, your child will be participating in a entitled "Math in Origami" an extended project in which your child will learn the history of Origami and some skills on creating Origami objects and then reveal the geometry embedded in it. We believe that this is the most innovative way of studying Origami and high school Geometry side by side where your child will explore the interrelation between them. At the end of the unit, guests will be invited to attend the poster presentations of their group Origami designs together with the brief revelation of geometry with those objects. All the necessary materials for the project will be provided except for a spiral bounded journal, paper, and pencils. Origami paper will be provided only for school and you will have buy your own if your child wants to practice designing at home. This is an indoor project and students will be working in groups. However, daily home works and journals will be assigned to be turned in by every body throughout the unit. These should not take more than one hour per night; however students will be highly encouraged to come up with creative origami designs and geometry from internet or magazines.
