Outline of Final Research Achievements

It is serious that students disinterest in science. In particular many students dislike geometry. It is clear that there is a need to learn thinking skills related to three-dimensional geometry that results in a break-through in science and technology, so in this research, it has been developed based on origami as a teaching tool that students can learn geometry with enjoying in primary and secondary education process. It is clear that they should be made as teaching material as students have been interested in them.
