Molecular Structure and Geometry
While physics is known for the math connections, chemistry is know for geometric connections. The 11th video in the series discusses how to determine the molecular structure of bonded atoms in a 3-D plane using steric numbers.

Coordinates and Shapes
Where is the point? Given three points on the coordinate plane, the video walks through the steps to find the location of the fourth point to create a given special quadrilateral. The narrator first determines the coordinates of the...

What Does Congruent Mean?
Two figures are congruent if they have the same size and shape. Line segments can also be congruent if they are of the same length. Vertical angles created by intersecting lines are always congruent. Polygons that have matching angles...

What is a Rotation?
Transformations, isn't that geometry? The instructor illustrates how to rotate a shape around a fixed point on a graph, keeping the shape the same size.

What is a Transformation?
A transformation is the process of changing the graph of a figure or a shape. The instructor introduces the four most common transformations: reflection, dilation, rotation, and translation. So watch as she draws the transformations on a...

What is a Translation?
A translation means moving a figure to another location by sliding it. The figure, called the image, maintains its size and shape. You can move the image horizontally, vertically, or a combination of both.
