Unifying Geometric Concepts through Non-Traditional Origami Techniques

Hands-on geometry investigations are tricky to incorporate at the middle level, as they are often a non-integrated part of the curriculum. However, by using non-traditional 3-D origami techniques, a host of vital connections can be made and linked to the geometric core standards of drawing, volume, surface area, and congruence using physical models.
