Tool #8

I selected two videos I think offer different perspectives. The first is a RAP video created by an Algebra student. He does a great job of utilizing math vocabulary and algebra illustrations in his video. The second one is a really old Ma and Pa Kettle video showing a debate on how to correctly divide. I use this to help students think about the processes used in division.

One of the difficulties I have had in the past, is that streaming videos don't work very well in the classroom. They typically do not download fast enough. Hopefully I can use the embedded videos to eliminate that problem.
