Book Description<\/h2>\n

“Star Origami is a festival of folding fun that is sure to inspire. Tung Ken’s stellar designs are rich with invention, and as always, his works are beautifully illustrated and written by him. Those eager for the math behind the designs will not be disappointed.”
\n\u2014 Michael LaFosse (Origamido\u00ae Studio), author of over 50 origami books including Geometric Origami: The Art of Modular Paper Sculpture<\/em><\/b><\/p>\n

“Tung Ken Lam is one of the world\u2019s leading exponents of modular origami design. His books never disappoint.”
\n\u2014 David Mitchell, author of Mathematical Origami <\/em>and founder of origamiheaven.com<\/b><\/p>\n

“Perfect for teachers to guide students to explore the relationships between the properties of rectangles and the folded stars. The curious and motivated student will find hours of mathematical buried treasure through folding.”
\n\u2013 Charlene Morrow, Director, SummerMath, Mount Holyoke College and Past Board Chair, OrigamiUSA<\/b><\/p>\n

“Star Origami provides a treasure trove of relevant math foundations, and suggestive pathways for the creative journey. It has already stimulated new directions for my own star structures.”

                “A handy catalog of classes of rectangles and their mathematical properties. Perfect for teachers who can guide students in an exploration of the relationship between the properties of rectangles and stars that can be formed from them by folding. The curious and motivated student will find hours of mathematical buried treasure through folding.”

                \n“A beautifully written and easy to navigate guide to folding a wonderful range of modular origami stars, from simple models suitable for children and beginners, to more complex models to challenge and delight the experienced folder.<\/p>\n

                 <\/p>\n

                This is a wonderful compendium for teachers of mathematics, containing many simple but pleasing models suitable for children and beginners, several of which can be made from A4 printer paper, perfect for the busy teacher! Tung Ken Lam also includes a comprehensive section to support teachers to manage the activities in a classroom, showing how to gently draw out the mathematics inherent in the paper folding process. There are also instructions for exploring the designs in computer graphics and dynamic geometry programs.<\/p>\n

                Truly a treasure of a book!”<\/p>\n
