Students don't get an opportunity to <b>make<\/b> things. They would get a much better sense of how math is used in the \"real world\" if they created some physical objects, especially ones that move like the art in this movie.<\/p>\n<p>From the YouTube blurb:<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p>Reuben Margolin, a Bay Area visionary and longtime maker, creates totally singular techno-kinetic wave sculptures. Using everything from wood to cardboard to found and salvaged objects, Reubens artwork is diverse, with sculptures ranging from tiny to looming, motorized to hand-cranked. Focusing on natural elements like a discrete water droplet or a powerful ocean eddy, his work is elegant and hypnotic. Also, learn how ocean waves can power our future. <\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>There's a short plug for wave-based energy at the end. I wish them well!<\/p>\n<div class=\"videoBG\">\n<iframe title=\"YouTube video player\" width=\"480\" height=\"303\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/dehXioMIKg0\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n<\/div>\n<p class=\"alt\"><a href=\"#respond\" id=\"comms\">Be the first to comment<\/a> below.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.intmath.com\/blog\/videos\/friday-math-movie-kinetic-wave-sculptures-2562\"><img loading=\"lazy\" src=\"\/blog\/wp-content\/images\/2009\/05\/make.jpg\" alt=\"Kinetic math-based art\" title=\"Kinetic math-based art\" width=\"128\" height=\"98\" class=\"imgRt\" \/><\/a>Here's some kinetic (moving) art based on trigonometry.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_mo_disable_npp":""},"categories":[105],"tags":[126],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.intmath.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2562"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.intmath.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.intmath.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.intmath.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.intmath.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=2562"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.intmath.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2562\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.intmath.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=2562"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.intmath.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=2562"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.intmath.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=2562"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
