Marvellous Mathematics Day - Origami Books


Your challenge is to make an origami book...from only a sheet of A3, and you are not allowed to use any glue. (Clue: You only need to make one cut to the paper). Upper School girls will have to work it out for themselves; lower-school girls will have a little help!

When finished, you can use the book to write down a times table!

Going further: Origami books are a great way to collect an anthology of poetry. Why not make an origami book, copy in your favourite poems, and illustrate it?
