Math is the only language shared by all human beings across the globe. Students will practice their math skills, including addition, subtraction, and fractions, as they cut, fold, measure, and draw. They will create a piggy bank to keep track of their money, learn Roman numerals to send a secret message, and see how different shapes can fit together to make a stegosaurus shadow puppet. In addition to the ten projects, patterns that are easy to reproduce using a copier or printer are provided as well as a Learn More section with current books and websites.
Students will learn about ancient Egypt, prehistoric France, and second-century China as they create a pyramid paperweight, a cave painting place mat, and a window decoration out of homemade paper from items they can find around their home. This delightful, creative introduction into the world of art, both ancient and modern, also discusses the cultural significance of such iconic figures as Andy Warhol, Jackson Pollock, and Georges-Pierre Seurat. In addition to the ten projects, this book also includes patterns that are easy to reproduce using a copier or printer.
After readers familiarize themselves with the origami symbols and easily accessible types of paper to use, they will follow illustrated step-by-step instructions to create fun origami arts and crafts such as a bracelet, a piano, a sailboat, and a colorful dodecahedron.
