Now, "Figure 8" can also refer to a specific dance move or skating move where you make a pattern that looks like the number 8. You might have seen people skating in circles, and when they cross over their skating tracks, they create a shape that looks like the number 8.

In math, "Figure 8" can also refer to a specific kind of mathematical figure that has the shape of the number 8. We can use this shape to solve all sorts of math problems, like finding the area of a space or calculating the distance around a shape.

So, in simple terms, "Figure 8" can refer to a shape that looks like the number 8 or a specific movement or pattern that makes the same shape. It's all about creating that specific shape that loops around and crosses over itself, just like the number 8.

And that's pretty much it! "Figure 8" is just a term that describes a specific shape or pattern that we can see in different areas, like in geometry, dance, or skating. I hope that clears things up for you!
