I think the bellringing activity was so cool and the music that we created with the patterns was so magical! It's definitely a great idea to incorporate music in the lesson. The activity even gets students moving. It's short but intriguing, and explains a lot about combinatoric patterns. If I introduced this activity in my classroom, I think students would be very excited to hear the new tune after each round - because I definitely was! I believe it can also make students think a lot using their eyes, ears and touch, and notice special patterns and how it relates to math.
The origami paper activity was also really beautiful to create. I think the concept can be applied when another medium is used. This activity can be extended and altered to students' interest. I love when math can be represented with such visually pleasing artwork, because it really takes away the boredom students are used in with traditional ways of teaching.
