In mathematics, Maekawa's theorem is a theorem used in the mathematics of paper folding. It basically involves flat-foldable origami crease patterns that are determined by a variation of valley-creases and mountain-creases. Maekawa's theorem states that the numbers of mountain folds and valleys always differ by two at every vertex—no matter the direction.

It does not completely characterize the flat-foldable vertices
It shows only the angles of the vertical cortex
It is only applicable to folds greater than 180 degrees
The theorem is mutually exclusive to angles of a straight shape
The number of mountain folds is the same in either direction
The number of valley and mountain folds is always the same in either direction
The numbers of valley and mountain folds always differ by two in either direction
The number of valley fold is the same in both directions of the vertex
It is not possible to color the regions of the creases
It is always possible to color the regions between the creases with two colors, such that each crease separates regions of differing colors
Each crease seperates the regions into 5 different colours
It is not possible to color the region creases with two colors but each crease can still be separated to regions of differing colors
