The 2007 animated short film Flatland: The Movie\u00a0<\/em>featuring the voices of Martin Sheen and Kristen Bell appears to be a popular teaching tool in math classes because it includes angles and other math concepts, but I have found it also works well in science fiction classes [see film website<\/a> for more information]. Its short running time (around 30 minutes) allows it to fit into a normal class session with plenty of time for questions and discussion. It is based on\u00a0 Flatland: A Romance of Many Dimensions<\/em> (1884) by Edwin A. Abbott and set in a society known as Flatland, a two-dimensional world. The graphics and pace are good, the themes are still relevant today, and there is a delightful irony in one of the characters who brings wisdom to others yet still cannot break free from his own limited worldview. It offers a nice break from the norm toward the end of the semester while still being a science fiction film that allows students to compare their world to the one in the film.\"Flatland<\/a><\/p>\n

Activity for Flatland: The Movie<\/em> (2007) featuring Martin Sheen and Kristen Bell<\/h4>\n

Based on Flatland: A Romance of Many Dimensions<\/em> (1884) by Edwin A. Abbott<\/p>\n

Questions:*<\/p>\n

Which character did you identify the most with?<\/p>\n

What are the rules of Flatland society? How does your shape affect your status?<\/p>\n

Who makes the rules in this society?<\/p>\n

What does heresy mean? What kinds of things are considered heresy in your society?<\/p>\n

Why can\u2019t the King of Lineland see the square? Why does Spherius resist the idea of a 4th dimension?<\/p>\n

Compare our society to Flatland\u2019s society. What are the similarities and differences? Which would you prefer to live in?<\/p>\n

Do you think science fiction as a genre helps people understand their world better than more \u201crealistic\u201d fiction? Why do you think science fiction movies have become so popular?<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

*Some questions are from a math teacher’s wiki<\/a>; others are my own. The possibilities for more science fiction questions are many!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
