A Mr. Brian Project

Teach-it!
Screen Cast/Draw Use a drawing program and a Screen cast program to record you showing a process. Stop Motion Get creative and use stop motion animation to teach a math process. It might take a longer time, but the results could be great! Video Camera piece of paper marker camera Youre good to go! Prezi Use an online presentation program to record your presentation and maybe screen cast the nished product or export it as a movie. Anything that works! Really, your imagination is the best thing that you can use. There is no right or wrong way as long as you end up with a video product that teaches others!

PowerPoint/Keynote You can use Keynote or Powerpoint to create a presentation, then export it as a movie. You may need to use a movie editor to add sound or effects if you like.

Make a video...
For this project you will be choosing a concept that we have studied, or a related concept (ask How many views will you get on your video? How many people around the the teacher before you start!), and world will watch it? Who knows you will be creating a tutorial maybe your video will go viral and video for your classmates. This have a global impact! video will be hosted online for others to view, and you will be Video viewing the videos of others and Your video should be 2-5 min. long. commenting. You will also create a quiz and an answer key that describes how to nd the answers.

Quiz
Your quiz should be 5 questions long. It should include at least one thinking problem that is about a real-life situation. It should be able to be completed by someone who watched your video (remember youre responsible to teach it!) It should be one page maximum.

Answer Key
Your answer key should contain all the correct answers.

It should have clear and neat working demonstrating how to answer It should clearly teach how to complete a process or solve a problem in the questions, including alternative methods. mathematics. It should be easy to see and hear. It should be creative and fun! Each question should include 1-2 sentences describing why someone who watched your video should be able to answer the question. (Connect the skills taught in the video to the skills needed for the question)

Criterion A: knowledge and understanding

Knowledge and understanding are fundamental to studying mathematics and form the base from which to explore concepts and develop skills. This criterion expects students to use their knowledge and to demonstrate their understanding of the concepts and skills of the prescribed framework in order to make deductions and solve problems in different situations, including those in real-life contexts. This criterion examines to what extent the student is able to: ! know and demonstrate understanding of the concepts from the ve branches of mathematics (number, algebra, geometry and trigonometry, statistics and probability, and discrete mathematics) ! use appropriate mathematical concepts and skills to solve problems in both familiar and unfamiliar situations, including those in real-life contexts ! select and apply general rules correctly to solve problems, including those in real-life contexts.

Assessment tasks for this criterion are likely to be class tests, examinations, real-life problems and investigations that may have a variety of solutions.

Criterion C: communication in mathematics

Maximum 6 Students are expected to use mathematical language when communicating mathematical ideas, reasoning and ndingsboth orally and in writing. This criterion examines to what extent the student is able to: ! use appropriate mathematical language (notation, symbols, terminology) in both oral and written explanations ! use different forms of mathematical representation (formulae, diagrams, tables, charts, graphs and models) ! move between different forms of representation. Students are encouraged to choose and use appropriate ICT tools such as graphic display calculators, screenshots, graphing, spreadsheets, databases, drawing and word-processing software, as appropriate, to enhance communication. Assessment tasks for this criterion are likely to be real-life problems, tests, examinations and investigations. Tests and examinations that are to be assessed against criterion C must be designed to allow students to show complete lines of reasoning using mathematical language. Achievement level 0 12

Criterion D: reection in mathematics

Maximum 6 Reection allows students to reect upon their methods and ndings. This criterion examines to what extent the student is able to: explain whether his or her results make sense in the context of the problem explain the importance of his or her ndings in connection to real life justify the degree of accuracy of his or her results where appropriate suggest improvements to the method when necessary.

Assessment tasks are most likely to be investigations and real-life problems. Generally these types of tasks will provide students with opportunities to use mathematical concepts and skills to solve problems in real- life contexts. Achievement level 0 12 34 Descriptor Indications in the Work
