History

In our History project, we created an animation with connected with math and chemistry. Using the units that we learned throughout the year, we were able to create a story about elements and make an animation using transformations.

One way that we applied transformations to the real world was through discussing how video games were made when they were designed by hand in the early 1980s. We went through the process of designing our own video games which consisted of translations, rotations, and reflections that helped navigate the players of the video game.

One way that right triangle trigonometry applies to the real world is through finding the length of distances between 2 points. In geometry we used google maps and created right triangles from different neighborhoods in Atlanta. We used trig. Ratios to determine the length of the distance between the neighborhoods to different resources such as the hospital and grocery store. We then compared the length of these distances to the income in the neighborhoods. This helped to show the inequalities present in many areas in Atlanta. [We also made a choice to find an organization that can help with these inequalities or write a letter to a representative regarding our findings for our project.]

[The right triangle applies to the real world in ways that we can and cannot see. One way was in our project, we can create a right triangle and measure the lengths of certain distances on the map.]

A two-way table is a statistical table that shows the observed number or frequency for two variables, the rows indicating one category and the columns indicating the other category.A two-way relative frequency table shows us percentages or decimals rather than the observed number. Two - way relative frequency tables are good for seeing if there is an association between two variables.
