“My Abuelita Taught Me a Bird”
My Experiences of Teaching Origami in the
Classroom
Christine Edison
1 August, 2008
I have been teaching for five years, the majority of it high school mathematics. Mathematics, in the U.S.A., is minimally comprised of Algebra, Geometry,
and Algebra with Trigonometry. The majority of my time has been spent with
low income, high risk students.
The first day I taught as a certified teacher in a CPS school we constructed
a skeletal octahedron and found surface area, volume, and identified vertices
and faces. The students, ranging in age from 16 to 18, were amazed. Creating
a manipulative that also looked “raw” gave students a physical connection to
Platonic Solids. That day was, simply put, fun. The students did a wonderful
job, were excited, and I was hooked.
Origami gives students a wide array of skills that go hand in hand with
mathematics. Spatial skills, sequencing, and problem solving are just some of
the benefits. A great surprise was how it affects the student’s willingness to
do accompanying worksheets/bookwork. If I constructed an origami project
based on the specific skill set and created practice sheets that directly applied
to construction and the skill objective of the day the number of students who
completed their work skyrocketed, sometimes with 100% completion. In the low
income urban setting that is not the norm.
Inclusion classes are classes in the U.S. where students with special needs
are mainstreamed. Different learning modalities are often discussed, but some
tend to be put aside in the classroom. The ten times that I have had students
construct skeletal dodecahedrons in the classroom using Tom Hull’s PHiZZ unit
the students that were the best at construction were by and large special needs,
and were able to help others, often a first for them. One student, Darius*,
came after school and told me “I’m stupid, but today I wasn’t. Please make
me smart tomorrow.” While it isn’t feasible to do origami everyday, Darius’s
behavior and effort in class changed. A small success for him created a large
change in his demeanor and he ended up passing the class.
Sometimes the benefit was not academic, but social. A lot of my boys had
gone to jail and they went in and out during the school year. One student
who came out of lockup midyear was angry and non-responsive, coming to
school high most days. I decided to teach a wreath since Winter Break was
coming. Roberto1 actually took the paper, which was a change. He completed
the activity and more importantly told me about his grandmother teaching him

1.3. WILD ONE BY MICHAEL WEINSTEIN
SIMPLE
Ahh, how to break up the radial symmetry of the square to make something flyable? Cephalopods
are radially symmetric, and while they scoot very nicely through the water they do little but flop
about outside of it. What to do? In this first aircraft, the square is treated like any other ordinary rectangle, despite its wonderful properties.
A truly crazy stunt plane that is as fun to fly as it is easy
to fold.
1. Crease in half lengthwise. Most airplanes are bilaterally
symmetric, although a of couple historical ones were not,
such as the Boomerang, designed by aviation visionary
Burt Rutan. Unfortunately, these appeared decidedly silly.
Humans are not bilaterally symmetric, despite outward
appearances. Our hearts point to the left, while our guts
point to the right. Failure of this patterning causes a disease called situs inversus, which is bad.
3. Fold the top point down to
the bottom of the colored
triangle.
2. Valley fold the corners so
that the top edges lies on
the center. Boy, this
seems awfully familiar.
3. Valley fold straight across the
front. Notice that we’re concentrating weight up in the
front. All airplanes must have
the center of gravity (an often
imaginary point at which the whole thing can be balanced on an imaginary
pin) in front of the center of lift (another imaginary point where all the
lifting forces on the aircraft are balanced). Placing the center of gravity behind the center of lift can cause the aircraft to flop about like a
Cephalopod. This is really, really bad for actual aircraft, since they
often catch on fire when flopping about. This is especially bad for the
occupants, who are, despite wishes to the contrary, equally flammable.

How many pilots does it take to screw in a light bulb?
4. Valley fold so that the folded edge on top touches the
point shown.
7. Unfold.
10. Mountain fold parallel to
the center, and perpendicular to the back. You can
feel where the fold should
be, because its where the
paper gets thicker.
12. Mountain fold along the
center line.
5. Unfold.
8. Valley fold on the crease
made in step 2.
6. Valley fold so that the raw
outside edge lies on the
crease made in step 2.
9. Mountain fold along the
creases made in step 4.
Tuck the flaps behind all
the other layers, to lock up
the front. All the best airplanes have nifty little locking folds.
11. Valley fold the wing by
bringing the folded edge
over to the point shown.
13. Fold the other wing so that
it is the same as the first.
12. Wild one!
One. The pilot holds the bulb, and the world revolves around him.

Given a good, hard throw Wild One
will perform excellent loops, turns,
and other stunts.

Of course, the one knock one could knock on the Wild One is it unimaginatively treats the wonderful
square like an ordinary old rectangle, even if it does produce extraordinary results. The best thing
about a square is that it looks the same on either side when folded diagonally. Thus we can get our
all-important bilateral symmetry down the diagonal, and make swoopy airplanes in the process.
At one point in my flight training I began flying at night. My instructor and I discussed nightime emergency
procedures, which differ slightly from daytime emergency procedures. One usually wants to find a dark
spot (where there are no Cephalopods, or people) next to a much brighter spot where there will be people
(but possibly not Cephalopods) who may be able to come to one’s aid.
As one is coming in to make the landing, one turns on the landing light, to see what it is that one is landing
in. When I questioned my instructor as to what I should do if I didn’t like what I saw, he told me to just turn
the light back off. True story.

1.4. SHARKIE BY MICHAEL WEINSTEIN
SIMPLE
Sharkie
The front looks like a shark, although
it performs less like a Cephalopod
and more like a flying fish. Start
with a square creased down the
diagonal.
1. Kite fold.
2. Valley fold the top point to the
bottom of the colored flaps.
3. Valley fold the top folded
edges into the center. Once
again, we put weight forward
to avoid flopping.
4. Valley fold the middle flap up
to cover the ones above it.

1.4. SHARKIE BY MICHAEL WEINSTEIN
SIMPLE
What’s the difference between a pilot and God?
5. Mountain fold in half.
6. Valley fold the wings,
splitting Sharkie's
mouth in half.
8. You've completed the
Sharkie! Open up the
wings perpendicular
to the fuselage, and
the stabilizers perpendicular to the
wings.
Sharkie's large wings make it a
good glider, as its weight is
spread out a great deal. However, its wings are swept back,
and it will give an interesting
flight if you throw it fast.

7. Valley fold the ends of
the wings to make
vertical stabilizers.
You may want to hold
Sharkie up to a light,
so that you can see
the layer underneath
that will be your
guide in this fold.

God doesn’t think he’s a pilot.

1.5. STAND TALL BY MICHAEL WEINSTEIN
SIMPLE
Stand Tall
So you’ve made a couple nice airplanes from your best kami, and found
they actually look rather spiffy. A nice way to present them as objects ‘d
art is to place them on a nice stand, like the one shown below:
2. Repeat on the bottom.
1. Valley fold so that the edges fall on the
center line.
3. Pull out the hidden
flaps of paper and
flatten.
4. In traditional Origami
this is the fish base.
Mountain fold the
lower flap behind,
allowing the shorter
flaps to flip down.

5. Valley fold the short
flaps up along their
bases, crease, and
unfold.
