Synopsis

Explore geometry through hands-on paper folding and creative visuals that make ideas stick.

This edition presents Geometric Exercises in Paper Folding by T. Sundara Row, pairing step-by-step folds with classical geometry topics. It includes a package of colored papers to practice folding along with diagrams and instructions.

The work blends practical folding with geometry, showing how simple paper actions can reveal polygons, circles, and other curves. You’ll see how regular polygons, the circle, and three-dimensional ideas can be explored without heavy tools, using only a knife, scraps of paper, and foldable figures.
  • Fold and transform squares to create equal triangles, squares, and other shapes.
  • Learn how paper-folding can illustrate Euclid’s ideas and basic algebra/trigonometry in concrete form.
  • Discover methods to construct and study polygons, harmonic progressions, and key curves through folding and pricking on paper.
  • See how folding can aid understanding of symmetry, congruence, and general principles in geometry.
Ideal for readers who enjoy hands-on learning, curious students, and teachers seeking a practical geometry companion.
