Abstract:
We show an example of a lesson, tested with teen-agers and
children, in which, by developing an idea of Albert E. Bosman, we propose
an origami model to depict geometric forms in order to help learning of
arithmetical topics such as powers of natural numbers and their sum, and
also the principle of induction, with a tactile, visual and motion experience.
