Mathematical Origami - Geometrical Shapes by Paper Folding by David Mitchell, 64 pages, 16 models, ISBN: 1-899618-18-X.
All diagrams start with A4 paper, but for most models, the paper needs to be cut to a square or a different rectangle. Instructions for obtaining an A4 rectangle from a square or from another rectangle are included.
Some of the models were created by FUSE Tomoko, Bob Neale, Nick Robinson, David Brill and Paul Jackson.
| Model Name | Info |
| Cube | from 6 very simple modules starting from squares; the discovery of the way the modules are linked is attributed to Paul Jackson |
| Columbus Cubes | just like Columbus Eggs, the Cubes can stand on a corner; you can stack Columbus Cubes or arrange them in a ring or ball |
| Tetrahedron | from 2 modules folded from a 2:sqrt3 rectangle |
| Icosahedron | by FUSE Tomoko; from 5 modules from 2:sqrt3 rectangles (FUSE uses squares) |
| Octahedron | from two 2:sqrt3 rectangles |
| Skeletal Octahedron | by Bob Neale; from 6 squares |
| Skeletal Cuboctahedron | from 24 A5 rectangles |
| Skeletal Cube | by David Brill; from 12 A6 rectangles |
| Rhombic Dodecahedron | by Nick Robinson; from 12 A4 rectangles |
| Rhombic Pyramid | from an A4 rectangle |
| Rhombic Tetrahedron | from two A4 rectangles |
| Ring of Rotating Rhombic Tetrahedra | from four A4 rectangles |
| Decorative Rhombic Dodecahedron | from six A4 rectangles and one Skeletal Cube |
| Rhombic Star | from 24 A4 rectangles |
| Dodecahedron | from 12 squares; the most difficult model in this book |
| Outline Dodecahedron | from 30 A6 rectangles |
