Origami Dots
All the challenges in this entertaining puzzle book are the same. A small move of the target dot can drastically change the logic needed to find the solution to the challenge. Fold the corner of the paper to a given dot and find the folded area.
However, insights learnt from earlier challenges can help with those that follow. The problems become increasingly complex as the book progresses, with possible solutions involving Pythagoras' and similar triangles as well as trigonometry and algebra. If at any point the challenge becomes too great, the answers can always be found by measurement with a ruler and directly calculating the area.
The book encourages curiosity, a "find out what you can" approach that creates interesting and varied solution strategies. The aim is that deep thinking and geometrical reasoning can come out of exploring and discussing the paper folds. The challenges are
