Teaching folding

Tonight was the fourth class in the math/folding course: and something magical happened: I suggested towards the end of the evening (it's a three hour class!) that we should have some free-folding, and pulled out a bunch of books for them to pick models from: spontaneously, two of my students immediately went over to the five who started the course late, and have never folded before, to help them.
And by the end of the class, the five had learned a lot more, and were catching up fast:-)

Yours, loving it when the taught become the teachers,
N.
