Origami

We are studying Japan for our Monthly country. We have already colored the Flag and read a few books on the country. Next up was trying are hands at Origami. I found this wonderful site Origami fun. There is lots of math involved in origami that I did not think of. Cutting our construction paper into 6"x6" squares, folding in half, and into triangles and squares, plus much more. Here are a bunch of pictures of our fun time.
