Abstract
Origami is the ancient Japanese art of folding objects from a single sheet of paper without cutting or pasting. A variation, N-gami, can be studied as a follow-up project after a study of the Platonic solids. Admittedly, the Platonic solids are easier to construct, appear more frequently in mathematics, and have much greater cultural significance. The investigation of other solids, however, gives students a chance to participate in solving a new geometric problem in its natural mathematical development. First, they play with the concepts; then they formulate and prove or disprove their conjectures. Thus the students are participating mathematicians rather than spectators.
