Illustrative Math Alignment: Grade 8 Unit 1

This is the transcript for the video of same title. Video contents: In this program we look at applications of transformations. We do this in the context of three real-world applications. In the first, we look at translations and rotations in the context of roller coaster rides. In the second example we look at translations in three-dimensional space in the context of cargo ships. In the third example, we look at the design of observatories to look at rotations, reflections, and symmetry.

This is the transcript for the video of same title. Video contents: Roller coasters provide an ideal opportunity to explore translations and rotations. Displacement vectors are also introduced.

This is the transcript for the video of same title. Video contents: Cargo ships transport tons of merchandise from one country to another and accounts for most of the global economy. Loading and unloading these ships requires a great deal of organization and provides an ideal example of three-dimensional translations.

This is the transcript for the video of same title. Video contents: The Gemini telescope in Hawaii is an example of architecture that moves. All observatories rotate in order to follow objects in the sky. This also provides an opportunity to explore rotations, reflections, and symmetry.

Transformations

Description

Explores translations and rotations in motion, using roller coasters as an example. Key concepts include displacement vectors, magnitude, and direction, modeled geometrically and computationally for practical applications in physics and engineering.

Topic

Transformations

Description

This segment applies 3D translations to logistics, focusing on container arrangement in shipping. Using coordinate systems, it demonstrates efficiency in loading/unloading cargo, leveraging geometric organization and data sorting methods for real-world impact.

Topic

Transformations

Description

Analyzes observatory designs and their use of rotational and reflective symmetry for astronomical viewing. The segment models celestial movements and applies rotational geometry concepts to optimize the structure’s functionality.
