Math
- Understanding the concept of frame rate and how it relates to the speed of the animation.
- Using measurements and proportions to plan the movement of Lego figures and objects in the stop motion video.
- Calculating the duration of the video based on the number of frames and the desired speed of playback.
- Exploring the concept of angles and spatial reasoning when positioning Lego pieces for animation.
For continued development, students can practice incorporating mathematical patterns and sequences into their stop motion videos. They can also explore the use of mathematical equations to create more complex and precise movements within the animations.
