While you might think that digital video would be difficult to integrate into math class, these videos will make you think otherwise. When considering this approach, keep this in mind: You don’t know it until you teach it. Video offers math students a way to record themselves demonstrating their knowledge so that others can benefit from it. This takes their understanding to a higher level. As teachers, this is what our goal is…isn’t it?
This first example highlights four math students explaining a word problem that has to do with interior and exterior angles in a heptagon.
One thing that is universal among all content areas is that students always want to know how what you are teaching applies to real life. This was perhaps what started the everyday math movement. This next video demonstrates how geometry is connected with football. The audio is a little bit difficult to hear at times due to wind noise, but the concept is great.
