T.O.MM for all. tessellation origami multimodular experience to learn maths and develop representation skills

The use of origami technique for didactical aims is more and more investigated in these last years. Moreover, it is well known that a way to learn is to play. In this paper we propose an educational project involving mathematics and representations through the design of an origami puzzle game. Starting from the folding of a traditional origami model, we use its variations to design a tessellation that becomes a game and we also give a guideline to repeat the process starting from other models. We explain the methodology to choose the best starting model and to design how transform it in a multimodular experience in the learning process. Our principal aim is the education to the shape reading and to the development of a geometric language.
