About this title

From the Author

Patty Paper Geometry was designed for you to "learn by doing." What do we know about isosceles triangles? What happens when a line intersects a pair of parallel lines? What is true about the diagonals of a rhombus? Geometric properties are very important because we use geometry to help us understand the way things work. With geometry we can build bridges, skyscrapers, and airplanes. With Patty Paper Geometry you will get a hands-on introduction to geometry. 

From the Back Cover

What Do Hamburgers Have to Do with Geometry? Nothing, but the translucent squares of paper used by restaurants to separate hamburger patties have a LOT to do with it. 
Best -selling author Michael Serra, brings discovery through paper-folding activities to the classroom with his innovative book Patty Paper Geometry. Patty paper is perfect for geometric investigations. You can write on the paper, trace, and see creases when you fold it. It's a great way to explore geometry from a hands-on, tactile approach.
 
This student workbook is a supplement to Patty Paper Geometry and includes 12 chapters of open investigations and exercise sets so you can explore your own methods of discovery.
