Quick Summary
Digital videos can engage your students in actively constructing their mathematical knowledge. Students can watch videos that present challenging mathematical questions and expand their visualization skills. They can mathematically analyze events in video clips. They can create videos that communicate what they know and are able to do.
Digital video capabilities can engage students in higher order thinking in a classroom where traditionally they have been expected to follow a set of rules for solving a problem. The instructional key is to engage students in thinking about ideas presented with video images and make connections with mathematical ideas.
