Global origami

Ulaanbaatar, Mongolia
Friday, February 5, 2010

If you know me at all well, you probably know that I love unit origami. Tomoko Fuse is my hero, and her books are my origami bibles. Over the years, I have taught my high school students unit (or "modular") origami and taken field trips with my students to teach it to elementary students.

Yesterday I took my first origami field trip in Mongolia. Although only half of my students speak Mongolian, both the Mongolian speakers and the non-Mongolian speakers did an excellent job teaching the wonders of unit origami with their hands.

Good job, Grade 10!
