In a 70 minute presentation, Bradford Hansen-Smith demonstrates the basic concepts contained in the first nine folds of the circle. These activities use paper plates and are designed for adults, as well as children as young as 4 year of age. The DVD includes a video gallery of models and an extended 25 minute interview with Hansen-Smith.Shot in high definition (HD) digital video, this DVD features a wide format (16x9) more suitable to modern TVs, while remaining viewable on older televisions. book 1: Explore Folding of the Circle: Activity Book 1 is the first in Bradford Hansen-Smith's new series of hands-on instructions for folding circles. This book contains the first steps in generating information and some amazingly beautiful and complex forms by simply folding and joining circles. Other approaches to teaching geometry are geared toward the analytical and from traditional static modeling by construction. Because measuring, cutting, and putting pieces together requires some skill and higher level thinking it is not usually taught until the high school level. This book brings the experience of these concepts and functions down to the primary grade level by folding paper plates. All that is necessary is to be able to fold a circle in half, observe, and talk about what you have done. Hansen-Smith's revolutionary approach delves into the comprehensive nature of the circle, or that demonstrate the information revealed through folding. This work provides an in-depth exploration of the reformation and transformational nature of the circle, as well as demonstrates the pattern base for the geometric patterns observed in nature from folding circles. There are plenty of books that give geometric and mathematical descriptions of observations about the design and forms observed in nature and the circle as an abstract basis for construction of diagrams. Folding circles is about patterns and how they are formed, reformed, and transformed that is experiential and understandable through the student’s own observations. This series of spiral-bound activity guides contains information about art, patterns and design, geometry, crafts, origami, mathematics, and more. Useful in the classroom, homeschooling, or for self-study. Published in 2006 by Wholemovement Publications.
