Somis Unified School District selected Origami Math Genius (OMG) as its professional development curriculum.  Teachers will learn to engage students with hands-on origami projects and teach math visually through origami.  Numerous studies showed teaching math through origami is more effective than traditional teaching.  OMG has been taught to students and teachers in numerous school districts to improve math education.  It follows the Common Core State Standards for Mathematics.  

OMG is a curriculum developed for integrating origami art and math in K-12 education.  It develops spatial reasoning and logical deduction.  It also cultivates imagination through creative play.  The goal is to turn every student into an OMG.
