We show an example of a lesson, tested with teen-agers and children, in which, by developing an idea of Albert E. Bosman, we propose an origami model to depict geometric forms in order to help learning of arithmetical topics such as powers of natural numbers and their sum, and also the principle of induction, with a tactile, visual and motion experience.

Abstract
We show an example of a lesson, tested with teen-agers and children, in which, by developing an idea of Albert E. Bosman, we propose an origami model to depict geometric forms in order to help learning of arithmetical topics such as powers of natural numbers and their sum, and also the principle of induction, with a tactile, visual and motion experience.
