Instructional writing, drawings and photographs in a step by step exploration of reconfiguring the circle using only the nine creases necessary to fold the regular tetrahedron. It has a lot of diverse information about the folding process; geometry, algebra, mathematical observations, transformational movement systems, classroom activities, and discussion about education and the importance of ethics revealed in the Wholemovement™ of the circle.
There is demonstration on teaching geometry and algebra at the same time by engaging the observational, problem-solving mind with the hands-on folding activities. This process reveals primary patterns that are foundational in mathematics, the arts, and observed through out the natural world. This is an important beginning for 5 and 6 year old students, and new information for older students and teachers in both mathematics and the arts.
There is much new information in this book; it stands on its own, being uniquely different from all other geometry books. This is an in-depth companion book to \"Geometry of wholemovement: folding the circle for information\". |
