How can you take any math standard and apply it to REAL life for your students? Engaging them through designing math videos that are created around applicable and authentic situations and incorporating the math learned in class is a GREAT way get them excited about their learning. Once they plan and publish their videos, they can solve the math story problems of others. It doesn’t end there! Students then extend their thinking by evaluating the math thinking of their peers. Whoa! Seems like a lot? It’s totally feasible and super worth it!
