Teaching Artist, Kuniko will help you learn fractions with Origami, the art of paper folding. The students will fold their own Origami Wallet with step-by-step instruction from Kuniko’s recorded video (20 minutes). In the process of the paper folding, students will see the visual concepts of;

1/8+1/4=3/8
6/8÷3=1/4
1/4÷1/8=2

Kuniko carefully chose this origami model so that all students will finish it successfully; it’s simple and includes equal parts of 2-4-8.

No worries! If help is needed, she will be there on Zoom with the class! The reason Kuniko is offering recorded video instead of video streaming is; 1)the quality of picture and audio is far better than Zoom screen share, 2)it’s cheaper, 3)students can pause, rewind and fast forward as needed.

VIRTUAL MENU

Choose the style!

Sandwich Style: Kuniko appears on Zoom LIVE STREAM before and after her recorded tutorial video watched. At the beginning she appears on Zoom to check with teachers & students, then play her recorded instructional 20 minutes video, which includes the fractions instruction. Kuniko appears on Zoom again after the recorded video watched and will work with students who could not finish the origami house. Q & A and more origami-to-fold are included.
Lunch Box Style: Take it with you! The recorded tutorial video has the link to play. Whenever you need it, simply play and use it for the classroom activity. If needed, schedule her appearance on Zoom for Q & A and extra time to complete the fractions lessons.
Sushi Roll Style: Tell Kuniko what your class needs are. Kuniko will roll it into her presentation. For example if you are teaching ‘1/2=2/4’ only today, and ‘2/4 and 3/4 to identify’ tomorrow, Kuniko will chop up her video and arrange it to suit your teaching plan.
LIVE STREAM Class is available. Instead of recorded video, Kuniko can set up Hands-on Live Class with students.

MATERIAL

No origami paper needed! Just a notebook paper or letter size paper will do.
