Abstract
The ancient art of origami can be used to strengthen mathematical subjects in the
classroom. By integrating origami into the curriculum, teachers of mathematics provide their
students with new opportunities to solidify their understanding of diverse concepts, such as
regular polygons, symmetry, and transformation. Using one of many available and free online
origami applets, teachers can introduce this ancient craft to their students from a technology-oriented
perspective.
