  • Dig into the mathematical rules and patterns of folding origami, the ancient Japanese art of paper folding.
    --
    Origami, which literally translates to “folding paper,” is a Japanese practice dating back to at least the 17th century. In origami, a single, traditionally square sheet of paper can be transformed into almost any shape, purely by folding. The same simple concepts yield everything from a paper crane with about 20 steps, to a dragon with over 1,000 steps. Evan Zodl explores the ancient art form.
    Lesson by Evan Zodl, directed by Charlotte Arene.

    What a wonderful way of condensing so much origami knowledge into just 5 minutes! My favorite part was the visualizations of the rules for flat foldable crease patterns, especially seeing how the paper does not lie flat when the rules aren't followed.

    Special thank you to the TED-Ed team and everyone involved in this lesson, it has been a pleasure working with you! Every time I watch this, I am still blown away by Charlotte's incredible animations. The amount of time and effort that when into this production really shows, and it turned out better than I could've ever imagined. Thank you for bringing my vision to life! 🤙

    In school they really miss to capture this about math
    Math is actually quite beautiful and almost artistic and creative
    Math isn't just about robotically calculate something
    Math is about understanding connection and recognizing patterns
    And this connections and patterns are very much necessary for us to understand better what is going on in everything around us
    Math is important to understand basketball better
    Math is important to understand music better
    Math is important to understand luck better
    Math is important to much more than engineering and physics and obviously engineering and physics are extremely important to begin with

      Well said, I used to hate math because of how boring it was during school. It all changed when I took my engineering degree, Math was much much more then what we were taught, it's a whole new language and makes you understand your reality more. For every new chapter I opened in my match book was something new, a concept that gave me a better understanding about things. Math allowed me to express myself and prove my ideas in ways that I was unable to do previously.
      If I had one wish, it would be to highlight the beauty of mathematics to the whole world.

    I had a math professor in HS that absolutely loved origami, so whenever I had a new piece in my artistic repertoire (loved because of technique and as an art form) I would share with him and he would teach me one in exchange. He was the best math teacher I could ask for: dynamic, sarcastic, the type that follow you progress and watches your character development with pride (I had the same professor for almost 3 years)
