When the space shuttle traveled around the earth, NASA scientists tracked the path using a computer screen. This idea allows teachers to transform spherical 3-D points from a globe to rectangular 2-D points on a map. This connects algebra and geometry to geography, provides connections across the curriculum, and introduces the unit circle.
