We look at a simple origami box that can be made from two sheets of regular printing paper. In the context of the construction of the box, we explore problems that emerge at the intersection of algebra, geometry, and calculus.

Within a single internet search, thousands of results occur when looking for a lesson or mathematics activity. However, the results are not all of good quality. We present a mathematics lesson planning protocol (MLP2) to help process the search results and offer experiences of teachers using the protocol.
