"Origametria - Using Origami as a Tool to Teach Geometry" is an 8-minute film that introduces a teaching program run by the Israeli Origami Center (IOC). Each week throughout the school year, 10,000 children in 70 schools study 'Origametria', taught by 40 specially trained teachers. The film features interviews with School Principals and with teachers of math in schools that use the 'Origametria' program, and includes much footage of 'Origametria' in the classroom. It was filmed during February 2006 in schools in East and West Jerusalem, and in several towns around Israel. The program was developed by Miri Golan (Founder and Director of the IOC) and Paul Jackson (origami artist). The film was premiered at the 4th Origami Science, Math and Education conference held at Caltech (The California Institute of Technology), Pasadena, California, USA, 8-10 September 2006, at which Miri was a guest plenary speaker, speaking about the 'Origametria' program.
