Bring geometry and art together when you fold a variety of beautiful origami shapes. While you're making these remarkable designs, you'll also find out the math behind the folds.

Creating these projects is a little like solving a puzzle. Learn a lot of interesting facts about angles when you construct a pinwheel, a crow's head, and a plot of grass, for example, and discover how you can use an origami square to fashion as large a hexagon as possible. Or see how to produce a figure with twelve corners from a square; you'll end up with a spinning top that will start to turn if you blow on it from above.

Not only will you come to understand the geometry these projects are based on, you'll also take pleasure in crafting something that's highly decorative.
