Students will locate real world pictures by using Geogebra softwareand they will try to find a model using e.g. functions or transformations that fits on them. In this way they will keep in mind that anytime mathematics is used to approximate reality.
There are lot of situations that can be used for modelling real life objects (with geometry behind it) or for simulating of moving objects. Think of linkages, ferris wheels, curves in a landscape, elevators, doors, windscreen wipers, friezes of houses, jewellary, ...
