Solution Details

One-line solution summary: In 20 words or less, summarize your organization's product or program that is the focus of your LEAP Project.

We produced an application using geogebra for geometry lessons, and at the same time, we worked both technologically and manually by using origami.

Define the problem that your solution seeks to solve. [200-500 words recommended]

With the advancing technology, education and learning are also developing. Mathematics, one of the lessons that students have difficulty in comprehending, has also been affected by this change. The main purpose of our project is to support the teaching of geometry, one of the main branches of mathematics. For this, origami, which is the art of paper folding, is transferred to the virtual environment to support the geometry subjects.  A model has been developed. Our project; It is aimed at students of geometry and anyone who wants to learn geometry more easily. Using origami materials to teach geometry with visuals and in a more memorable way, our project is supported by many theorems. At the same time, it was tried to prove the bisector theorem of isosceles triangle and the isosceles triangle theorem in circle filling with trigonometry. By combining these two theorems, an origami design has emerged that supports the shape we have arrived at. At the same time, this origami was supported by using the Geogebra application. In addition, a modeling has been developed by adapting the geometry to today's technology for the trainers. It started with the Treemaker application, which is the first stage of this system. With the Treemaker application, the skeleton of origami was revealed in the virtual environment and the angle between the lines forming the skeleton was calculated. The shape revealed by Treemaker was later transformed into folded forms of our origami with the Oripa application. In addition to the origami we have done before, modular origami shapes are also included in our project. It has been shown that modular modern origami that may seem difficult is actually made more simply. This project ensures that the materials that the instructors explain to the students are presented in a more technological infrastructure. We think that if the subject of geometry is presented together with origami materials in mathematics lessons, students will learn more effectively and in a more fun way.

Describe your solution and how it works in simple terms. [200-500 words recommended]

In our project, one of the expressions seen in teaching is geometry. The first of the materials that come when teaching geometry is origami. How do you refer origami to training modules? Or how can geometry be explained more easily through origami in geometry class? The solution of these questions is mentioned. While addressing these parts, our project was supported by many applications. Explaining geometry through origami has helped both instructors in teaching. It facilitated his inner understanding and adapted the geometry teaching module through origami to the mathematics lesson.   If we want to explain our origami angles in the code sections with the Treemaker application and then the geometry over the folded form, the origami is folded and the finished form is presented by using the Oripa application at the end of the determined fold. At the same time, lastly, interpretations were made on shapes such as triangles and expansions, and by facilitating this process, studies on mathematics were supported. November 11 is celebrated as Origami Day. At the same time, Treemaker and Oripa applications can be easily used and printed on Origami Day. This project encourages educators and resources to also promote origami on Origami Day.

To date, what research/studies has your organization conducted that have helped demonstrate the effectiveness of your solution? [200-500 words recommended]

First, we got support from materials, such as articles about geometry, and then we got support about technology, such as geogebra and oripa applications that enable us to develop applications, the other step is to present this education system to the educators and get their opinion, and finally we made a survey to the students about this education system. We achieved 98% success by applying this data. After completing our course, we measured this data by taking an exam.

What has the research/studies you have conducted revealed about your solution and how did it inform your work moving forward? [200-500 words recommended]

The advancement of technology in teaching techniques has also been reflected in mathematics. Origami and origami-related theorems were used in this project, which aims to learn geometry more easily and to increase education. Combining theorems in a circle fill  The isosceles theorem has been created and these theorems have been visualized with the art of paper folding. This subject, which has also been addressed by other faculty members, is carried out in our project by using different software applications. Combining origami and geometry is open-ended and authorized to obtain permission. Combining the bisector theorem of the isosceles triangle with trigonometry and the isosceles triangle theorem within the circle fill, our design for origami is geared towards the handle. This executive, which performs production activities, is mixed folding because certain shapes work with a limited size.  could not be converted into visual origami. Although it does not create restrictions in daily use, it focuses on the use of a more advanced program for original structures mixed with a higher level. Treemaker, Geogebra, Oripa applications would be more functional and advanced, and 21st century designs with origami would yield much easier results.
