This is for the modular origami experts here!
Some of you may have read my posting to the O-list about my day teaching. At the end of the day, one of the teachers asked me if I would be willing to speak to some of the teachers from their school about modular origami and math. GREAT! Problem is that I don't really do modular origami. I had a couple of cubes made from sonobe units there and challenged the kids to figure out how to put the extra pieces I had folded together to make some more cubes. That is the extent of my modular skill and knowledge, and math and I have never gotten along well!
I've been looking at some books and trying to figure out which one would be the best to learn from and present to these teachers. I'm cosidering Rona Gurkewitz's book "3-D Geometric Origami". Any thoughts? Please remember that this has to be a simple book.
