EDUCATIONAL METHOD OF TEACHING ARITHMETIC

The educational method of teaching arithmetic includes instructing a student to perform the following steps: numbering the corners of a square sheet of paper in numerical sequence, preparing addition tables using only the numbers on the sheet of paper for the addends and sums, preparing multiplication tables using only the numbers on the sheet of paper for the multiplicands and products, folding the sheet of paper in a series of steps to form an origami figure, numbering each new angle formed in the sheet by fold lines by continuing the numerical sequence after each folding step in the series, forming additional addition and multiplication tables after each folding step in the series to include new sums and products made possible by the step of numbering each new angle formed by the fold lines, and continuing the folding steps and forming new tables until the origami figure is completed.
