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.

Paperback. Condizione: New. Print on Demand. This book presents a unique approach to understanding geometry, using the familiar and accessible tool of paper folding. The author, a pioneer in this field, draws on the principles of Euclidean geometry while introducing novel methods and applications. The book guides readers through the construction of various regular polygons, from squares and equilateral triangles to pentagons, hexagons, and even nonagons. The author skillfully integrates principles of algebra and trigonometry, demonstrating how they can illuminate geometric concepts. Readers will find themselves exploring fascinating problems of ancient and modern geometry, unveiling the hidden relationships between these often separate disciplines. The book's exploration of geometric series and harmonic progressions not only provides visual representations of these fundamental mathematical concepts but also delves into intriguing historical problems, like the Delian problem of duplicating a cube. The author's detailed examination of polygons and their properties leads to a deeper understanding of the fundamental concepts of area, perimeter, and the calculation of pi. This book offers a refreshing and engaging approach to geometry, inviting readers of all ages to rediscover the beauty and elegance of this fundamental mathematical discipline. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format.
