Click on the button and watch the video on geometry and sports. What did you think of the video? How could you apply this to your everyday life? Respond to the post of one classmate.
I like this video because it reflects to what I like which is playing sports. It talked about the bounce pass in basketball which is my favourite sport! When you make a bounce pass the angle the ball goes down is the same as the angle of the ball going up. Angles apply to everyday life because a lot of people play sports and angles are very important in a lot of sports.

I like this video because it reflects on using angles while playing sports! In this video it talked about how angling your ball or your foot a different way can make a pass better.I think that the examples they used in this video were good such as the bounce pass in basketball and tilting your foot in soccer, i liked these examples because they can help you have a better pass and because it teaches you how angles can be involved in sports.

I do like this video because they are showing that even in sports you can relate to math! I can apply this to my everyday life because even though I don't play a sport doesn't mean angles aren't anywhere. Angles are use in most jobs like Artists use their facts of angles to sketch paintings. I can apply this to what I am eating or what I am sitting on.There are many things you can realte to that involves angles. Angles are used to make many products we have at home. We have them everywhere.

I agree with clare because even if you don't play a sport it doesn't mean that you can't relate to math and that angles aren't anywhere. You can practically apply and relate it to anything! Angles are everywhere!

I agree with Clare when she said " even though I don't play a sport doesn't mean angles aren't anywhere" because angles are everywhere we just don't realize we use them all the time!

i think the video is ok it does kind of talk about angles. You do use angles in your life like they said in the video how you have to put your foot in a sertain way for soccer.A lot of things include angles like chairs, everyday items maybe even a house has angles.

I think that the video would help me more if the video was longer because they just passed a basket-ball and the just said that there's like a mirror that in between them that whenever you bounce a ball the mirror reflects it back.This video helps me i n real life because i someone should you something and its complicated to do then you can make it into a little game.
FOR EXAMPLE:if you learning something to do with volleyball and your teacher / coach shows you how to volley the pretend that there is a mirror between you guys and however the volleyball came to you it has to go that the exactly same way that it came to you.

i think this video was good but think it should have been longer , it explained that using angles in everyday life can help you in sports and angles can help you in many different ways. you could use angles for art and designing and tons of other things.

I liked this vedio and all the others from this website. Although, I think this vedio was a little short. I liked it better how they explained it in "angles in soccer" because they used the same idea with where the ball hits the ground, it comes back up after it hits the ground at the same angle but the other vedio, they showedit on a white board and I found that helped show how the mirror thing works a little better. This vedio applies to my life because in hockey, when you bank the puck off the boards, it willl bounce off the boards at the same angle that you shot it at the boards. It also applies pretty much everywhere unless there's some museum if circles or something.
I agreee with what Clare said, "Even though I don't play sports, that doesnt mean that angles arent everywhere. It's true, angles are everywhere and everything angles are used in many simple objects and buildings, they're on T-shirts, in magazines, everywhere in the world, wherever you go, there'll alwys be angles.

I like this video, because it really makes you think. Many people play sports like this, like soccer, basketball, and hockey, so they can really connect to it, and think about it next time they are playing that sport. Plus, many people may not enjoy math, but may really like sports. So when you connect those two people who don't enjoy math could enjoy it more.
I can connect this to my regular day life, because I play soccer, like how they were explaining in the video. I angle my foot and body in a certain way when kicking the ball, plus look at angles when determining how far a kick, or even a throw in can get.

I liked this video because it explains the use of angles in everyday life and how you need angles in alot of sports because you need to make the right decison of which angle you are going to go like if you were going to go straight or to the side and up which could be a right angle and it talks about alot of sports ex: basketball, baseball, soccer and it refelct on math so it can help you in your math work and i think if this video was a litle bit longer than it could probably help a little more.

I like that video because it shows you that you use math in all kinds of different ways. You could be using what you know from math to do something when you don't even know you're doing it. Its good because if you don't like math you can think of doing something else you like (like playing a sport) and relate your math to it. I think its cool that math comes in handy for so many other things.
Ways you could apply this to your everyday life could be like the next time you're trying to solve a math problem try to relate it to something you like or you're good at.

I liked this video because I think its so cool how they related angles to sports! I liked how they showed how when you bounce the ball a certain angle it comes back up in the same angle. I can apply this to my everyday life because whatever you do most of the time involves angles! When you write or draw the angle you have your hand positioned in influences the way it will end up. Also when your cutting food or putting a straw in a juice box all involves angles! We use angles a lot a school, during gym when we play sports. I think that when e keep an open mind and really look we can see we use angles all the time in our every day lives!

I like this video because it shows you that you use angles for a lot of things.
For example, when they talked about angles in soccer he said that you have to put your foot a certain way and it will go that way. Also, when you do a bounce pass in basketball it is an angle and also kind of like a mirror. I can relate angles to every day life, like dance because when you jumps and turns they act like an acute angle and a full rotation. ANGLES ARE EVERYWHERE!!!

I like this video because its relative to sports! It also shows that math is everywhere. I really enjoyed how they explained it with the basketball. When you do a bounce pass its like a reflection it goes right to the opposite person because of angles! I never knew that sports could relate too angles. This relates to my every day life because I think of gymnastics because when you flip its sort of like angle because of your position in the air. When you think about it angles could be anywhere even when you open a book is an angle!
p.s sorry I was reading.

I really liked this video because it shows that you use angles in your everyday life in almost everything you do.
This relates to me beause at dance there is very precise positioning in what moves you do so if you had a giant protractor you could use it to fint out what angle my legs are at.

i think that this could relate to our every day life because for most of the kids in our class play sports, and we would need to now what kind of angle we would need to make if we are taking a shot or making a pass.
