Geometry with Origami!

Hello, Geogenius! 📐

Did you know that when you fold paper, you’re doing geometry?
Today we’re going to explore shapes, angles, lines of symmetry, and fractions using a beautiful Japanese art form: Origami! 

 You’ll Need:

• A square piece of paper (any size and color)

• Your hands

• A flat surface

• Patience and curiosity! 

 Warm-Up Fold: The Symmetry Test

1. Fold your square in half (side to side).
    You’ve made a line of symmetry!

2. Open it. Now fold it corner to corner.
    Another line of symmetry!

3. Open again. Can you see how many lines of symmetry your square has?
   Try folding along different lines to find more!

 Let’s Make an Origami Fox Head!

As you fold, ask yourself:

• What shapes appear?

• How many angles can you name?

• Can you fold it so both sides match? (That’s symmetry)

• What fractions of the square are you folding each time?

Origami helps us “see” geometry by folding, flipping, and creating.
You’re not just learning shapes, you’re building them with your hands!
