​SAMPLE LESSONS​

Here is a sample set of some lessons I can offer. Click on a slideshow and full screen it to scroll through the material!
​
Beneath each presentation is a minimum grade level (scalable for higher grades), and a list of questions that a workshop might pose to challenge students, depending on the focus of the class.
Math-focus: What factors go into whether or not you can fold a sheet of paper in half? How does changing one factor make the process easier or harder? 
Grades 6-12 and +
Art-focus: How can you use folding to display more or less of the connector pad? What patterns can you find as you add more units to a quilt?

Math-focus: What would the triangular equivalent of this unit be? Pentagonal? How do the features of the unit change as you change the number of sides?

​Grades 3+
