Because the traditional education model is too rigid and lacks highlights that can arouse strong interest among young people, many people in the education field hope to use origami, an entertaining handmade craft, to transform the traditional education model and integrate it into traditional education. and more teaching contents on spatial thinking ability and practical ability that are suitable for young people’s own development.

When it comes to training spatial thinking ability, spatial imagination ability and manual and mental ability, it is generally believed that the best way is to use origami. Because origami itself has relatively low material requirements, as long as it is a piece of paper, it can be used as an origami material.

In the process of origami operation, due to the need for continuous folding and creation, the improvement in spatial imagination ability is very obvious, and it can even be said to be immediate. With only simple training, you can immediately improve your understanding of spatial models.

This has actually been reflected in the traditional education model. After careful analysis, many educators found that in some geometry classes in the past, teachers often used origami to explain spatial configurations. In fact, this is a simple integration, but at this time, teachers are usually doing the origami operations, and students are less exposed to the hands-on origami operations. If students can perform geometric origami in person, the teaching effect will be immediately highlighted. , which also makes educators very excited.
