This video explains how to shoot overhand in lacrosse. It shows different types of shooting and when you should use them. It explains the different angles you should use when shooting depending on where you are along the 8 metre. This will help me with shooting angles and how to hold the stick. Each angle you are shooting from changes the power and place you are shooting from.

I came upon this video when researching a controversial play. In the video it talked about how the parollex view affected the call of the play. This angle applied for when the puck crosses the goal line and when referee make calls based on their view of the play. This to me is extremely interesting although not to informative it is extremely interesting how math can affect calls so easily.
This website explains how to play lacrosse and what the rules are. it is going to help me for one main reason. If you understand how to play the game and what the rules are it is easier to find the math in it. You can’t find anything from lacrosse if you don’t know what the rules are or how the game is played.

In this site it provides a good understanding of used math in the game of hockey and further goes into how it is related to math. For example a hockey puck is exactly 3 inches and specially measured and designed to fit perfectly for a stick. Not only that but as a skater you must calculate and observe the speed of the other player you’re defending. What was also mentioned was that crossovers increase players speed and stablilty which has a big relationship to physics. Lastly it mentions an unheard example which is when you are short handed and you are missing a player it is 5/4= Fraction in statistics. I found this site extremely useful as it explains a lot about the dynamics and speed of the game. This site will definetly be used in my research, and definetly recommend it to others.
In the video I watched, I learned about measurement, calculations, and geometry
Measurement is important because then you can know how far you need to go. Calculations of speed are important because they help you to know how long you take to swim a length. And finally, geometry is important because understanding angles helps you to move your hand faster through the water.
I found the video has a lot of information.
When they sell their clothes, people use money to buy them. Money is about math, and it’s in everyday life. Before they cell it, they need to calculate how much did they use for all the supplies that were used to make that clothes, which is the cost. Then, they can determine how much they are going to sell it and does it worth that much.
Here are some pictures:
Fashion designers use art to design clothes. Math and art are related in various ways. Like 3D designs, patterns and more. The designers use them to make those clothes pretty. There are many amazing pieces of famous designs that used math related art.
Examples:
Fashion designers use the golden ratio. The golden ratio is approximately equal to 1.618. People often use it in design. Some artists and architects believe the Golden Ratio makes the most pleasing and beautiful shape.
The golden ratio:
In mathematics, two quantities are in the golden ratio if their ratio is the same as the ratio of their sum to the larger of the two quantities.
Fashion designers need an understanding of geometry. They would use it when they design clothes, for examples : basic shapes and 3D shapes, angles, parallel lines and transversals… they are all about geometry. Every piece of clothing would have at least one design that’s related to geometry, and geometry is part of Math.
Below are some pictures about fashion designs and geometry.
For fashion design, the fashion designers would measure sample garments for fitting – the size. Each measurement will get a number, after they finish measuring, they will know the size for the sample. Also, number is the very basic elements for Math. Further, it really connects to everyday life, like the clothes we are wearing right now.
Here are two pictures of what and how would fashion designers measure the samples and how do they tell their sizes:
