T. Sundara Row's Geometric Exercises in Paper Folding (Classic Reprint) - Softcover

Inhaltsangabe

Explore geometry through paper folding and discover clear, hands-on methods that make ideas come alive for students and teachers alike.

This edition presents a practical approach to plane geometry using simple paper folding with colored squares. It emphasizes visual, self-checking work and uses half-tone reproductions to show the results of folding, not just drawings. Editors W. W. Beman and D. E. Smith update proofs and add references, while keeping the focus on accessible, classroom-friendly activities.

- Learn how to fold a square into equal right-angled triangles and other shapes without instruments
- See how folding reveals concepts like symmetry, congruence, and geometric constructions
- Explore chapters on regular polygons, conic sections, and accompanying curves with concrete, visual demonstrations
- Understand how paper-folding can illustrate algebraic and geometric ideas in a tangible way

Ideal for readers who teach geometry from grade school to college, or anyone looking for a tactile way to study shapes and relationships. This edition aims to make geometry inviting and explorative for learners at multiple levels.
