Abstract: In [3] Borzellino and Brunsden started to develop an elementary differential topology theory for orbifolds. In this paper we carry on their project by defining a mapping degree for proper maps between orbifolds, which counts preimages of regular values with appropriate weights. We show that the mapping degree satisfies the expected invariance properties, under the assumption that the domain does not have a codimension one singular stratum. We study properties of the mapping degree and compute the degree in some examples.
