Make origami ducks with your class to reinforce geometry concepts and vocabulary; develop fine motor and visual translation skills; and enrich study of Japanese culture, the pond habitat, or migration. Create a whole group "worksheet"...

Origami is an excellent way to combine Japanese culture, art, and geometric shapes into one engaging instructional activity! Scholars begin by listening to the story Sadako and the Thousand Paper Cranes and learn the origin of...

In this fraction activity, young scholars manipulate paper by folding it to create different shapes and sizes, they explore the concept of fractions, and discuss their observations as a class. This is a great activity for getting...

Second graders make an origami Johnny Appleseed. In this geometry lesson students follow folding instructions. They find different geometric shapes while they are folding. They create Johnny Appleseed's body and attach a face and hands...

Sixth graders investigate the forces that move certain objects.  In this physics lesson plan, 6th graders design and create paper flying objects using origami methods, which they practice flying in different conditions....

Students explore the concept of origami. In this origami lesson, students construct picture frames out of paper. Students find the midpoint of the paper and determine the fractional area of the paper as it is folded.

This resource offers a series of hands-on activities in which learners sketch and construct symmetrical origami, paper dolls, snowflakes, and polyhedra while adhering to specific requirements. These activities ask class members to...

Students study fractions. In this art instructional activity, students fold paper, use origami, making new shapes and discuss the area of the shapes created.

This one problem concentrates on the important concept of dividing a whole number by a unit fraction. Here, young mathematicians use pictures they draw to help answer this problem. Insight into the connection between multiplication and...

Students explore how shapes can make patterns then make connections as to how elements in a pattern relate to one another. In this matter of pattern instructional activity, students create a multi-folded paper snowflake. Students...

Ninth graders explore a variety of geometry and science concept while making an origami frog. The fold paper into the shape of a frog and conduct measurement activities including frog leaps.

Have a hopping good time teaching your class how to collect and graph data with this fun activity-based lesson series. Using the provided data taken from a frog jumping contest, children first work together...

Students compare two lengths using the area of a square. In this geometry lesson, students solve problems using ratio and proportion of the two shapes. They solve equations by taking the square root of both sides.

Second graders make boats by folding paper. They identify and draw shapes made during the creating process and place lines of symmetry on them. They demonstrate their understanding by completing an activity sheet imbedded in this plan.

Eighth graders list the steps of Darwin's natural selection. They demonstrate the process of natural selection in a predation activity. Students create paper origami frogs to race across the floor and analyze the differences in the...

Mathematicians calculate the area of a tangram piece without using formulas. They use a geometry journal to record activities during this lesson. They make a set of tangrams and use them to compute area. They use...

Time to learn about sundials. Scholars see how to build sundials after learning about Earth's rotation and its relation to time. The unit describes several different types of possible sundials, so choose the one that fits your needs — or...

Your class will participate in a series of math vocabulary activities to learn about parallel lines. They find people using a math list and connect math words in the context of sentences. They also read the math words in the example...

Students notice differences between frogs and turtles. In this frog themed instructional activity, students review what frogs are and practice counting to five with the help of music and a coloring worksheet.

This exercise begins with students folding a square piece of paper according to directions and aligning it on a coordinate grid. They then must find and solve a pair of linear equations which can be used to understand how to fold a piece...

This lesson focuses on a different way to construct geometric figures without tools, Origami. The goal is to make objects out of one or more sheets of paper, without any additional tools like glue or scissors. You can create incredibly...

After successive folds of a piece of origami paper, a student must explain why the shape made is a regular octagon. Aligns with G-CO.A.3 and G-CO.D.12.

The purpose of this task is to explore reflections in the context of paper folding. Each fold is associated with a line of reflection and understanding each step in the construction requires careful analysis of angles and of the...
