Colin Dodds - Geometric Transformations (Math Song)

Показать описание

Hey! I gotta shape
And I want to transform it geometrically
But wait! When transforming that shape
There's a few options that are available to me
Because I could...

Rotate - turn it 'round
Translate - shift it left, right, up, or down
Reflect - copy it across an axis of symmetry

Hey! I gotta shape
It looks great but I want to tesselate it
That's where, that shape
It fills up a flat space completely
With no overlaps or gaps

Rotate - turn it 'round
Translate - shift it left, right, up, or down
Reflect - copy it across an axis of symmetry

The voices in my head. It needs to stop. My math teacher keeps singing it. My classmates are too. Someone help me please.

I haven't listened to this song since 7th grade, I'm in college now, and this song still SLAPS

Our teacher used this in 4th grade. 10/10 song, still gets stuck in my head to this day.

I'm just gonna give this song some credit: Everyone will probably think I have no taste for music but I actually liked this

Day: 37 I have played this song on loop for the past month. I cannot stop learning about these transformations. I have sung it to myself at work when I'm under stress and it relieves me. I play it in the car and it soothes me. My wife is constantly asking me to stop. She has even threatened to leave me. My daughter hides from me. My dog is scared of me. I have begun writing these transformations on our walls with the blood of my family. They were below my superior knowledge of geometry. I have tessellated their bodies. It satisfies me. I hear them in my head. The voices. They tell me things. Bad things. I know I shouldn't but I have to. I have begun amputating my own limbs. I have reflected them. Rotated them. And finally I have tessellated them. This is my final entry. I hope that one day the deities will forgive me for my love of geometric transformations.

OMG I cant believe I still remember this from 2 years ago

Lyrics:
Hey
I gotta shape, and I want to transform it geometrically
But wait
When transforming that shape
There’s a few options available to me
Because I could

ROTATE
Turn it ‘round
TRANSLATE
Shift it left, right up or down
REFLECT
Copy it across an axis of symmetry x2

Hey
I gotta shape
It looks great but I want to tesselate it
That’s where
That shape
Fills up a space completely with no overlaps or gaps Lyrics:
Hey
I gotta shape, and I want to transform it geometrically
But wait
When transforming that shape
There’s a few options available to me
Because I could

ROTATE
Turn it ‘round
TRANSLATE
Shift it left, right up or down
REFLECT
Copy it across an axis of symmetry x3

Hey
I gotta shape
It looks great but I want to tesselate it
That’s where
A shape fills up a space completely with no overlaps or gaps

ROTATE
Turn it ‘round
TRANSLATE
Shift it left, right up or down
REFLECT
Copy it across an axis of symmetry x3

Even 10 years later, this still gets to live in my head rent free forever because it taught me actually needed stuff 🗣️❗️

My math teacher played this once and now we are creating a flash mob dance to this at the end of the year

Who else came here from your teacher playing it

rgm

My math teacher showed this to my class. Anyone else?

BTW I love this song! But if I told anyone in my class then they would call me a nerd :/ and I'm in 8th grade lol so immature
