Building Mathematical Intuition With Papercraft
If you find mathematics boring and strange symbols and equations put you off; or if you cram formulas and theorems without ever understanding them; or if you wonder where in life you’d ever need maths, this session is just for you.
In this Math Circle, the presenters would use Japanese art of paper folding to demonstrate the power of paper craft in explaining wonderful concepts of geometry and algebra that apperently look meaningless and daunting.
If you are a maths teacher or a self learner who is looking for creative, fun-filled, innovative and engaging activities that inspire and produce aha moments, just fold along and discover some of the coolest ways to teach and study maths.
