At the "Yad L'Hamisha" Elementary School in the Gilboa Regional Council, children study geometry by folding pieces of paper.
The "Origeometry" Skills Center established by the Israel Center for Origami combines the study of geometry with the Japanese art of Origami thereby providing the pupils with an opportunity to experience and understand geometrical and multidimensional structures, improve their sense of perception and make this "dry" subject an enjoyable and pleasant experience. The program is aimed at reinforcing the material studied in the classroom and does not replace the standard curriculum. Teaching Origami is an excellent means of developing a variety of learning skills such as fine motor coordination, spatial perception, hand-eye coordination and logical thinking.
