Origami and Geometric Constructions

(A comparison between straight edge and compass constructions and origami)
In high school geometry students examine the types of geometrical operations that can be performed by using only a straight edge and a compass (SE&C). One learns how to draw a line connecting two points, how to draw circles, how to bisect angles, how to draw perpendicular lines, etc. In fact, you may remember that all SE&C constructions are a sequence of steps, each of which is one of the following:
Given two points we can draw a line connecting them.
