Origami – Paper Folding

20 August 2020

Origami, the ancient art of paper folding, has applications in the modern-day classroom for teaching Geometry, Thinking Skills, Fractions, Problem Solving, and Fun Science. Origami excites other modalities of learning. It has been shown to improve spatial visualization skills using hands-on learning. Such skills allow children to comprehend, characterize, and construct their own vernacular for the world around them. In your class, find origami or geometric shapes in nature and then describe them with geometric terms.

To trigger Tiny Tot’s imagination and enhance their creative skills  ‘ Origami Paper Folding’ activity was scheduled for Pre – Primary classes on 20 August 2020.  Students were explained about the origin of Origami Art. Origami, the ancient art of paper folding, is making a comeback. While some of the oldest pieces of origami have been found in ancient China and its deepest roots are in ancient Japan, origami can make an impact in today’s education too. This art form engages students and sneakily enhances their skills — including improved spatial perception and logical and sequential thinking. Students made different figures by folding the craft paper such as Tulip Flower,Face of Cow,Dog,Cat, Diya,Ship etc.They  were very excited for the  activity and really enjoyed a lot doing the same .
