Kirigami

Kirigami is an art which is a combination of origami i.e. paper folding, and paper cutting. In Japan, the word kirigami had been in use for a long time because "kiru” means to cut, and “gami” means paper.
Making Paper snowflakes is an example of Kirigami. The students can explore incredible hidden symmetry patterns and write on mathematical interpretations.
