  • Title: DEVELOPING NUMERICAL ABILITY IN CHILDREN WITH MATHEMATICAL DIFFICULTIES USING ORIGAMI (.).
    Author: Krisztián Á, Bernáth L, Gombos H, Vereczkei L.
    Journal: Percept Mot Skills; 2015 Aug; 121(1):233-43. PubMed ID: 26302191.
    Abstract:
    Certain aspects of numerical processing show a connection with spatial abilities. Spatial abilities may be enhanced through the practice of origami. It is possible that the development of spatial abilities will support the development of numerical processing. The goal was to investigate whether spatial and numerical skills can be developed using origami and the folding of three-dimensional shapes. During the course of the 10-wk. training program, consisting of weekly 60-min. sessions, the performance of children with mathematical difficulties showed considerable improvement in spatial and numerical tasks as compared to the control group of children with mathematical difficulties.
