I recently had the opportunity to co-teach a lesson with a former student in her middle school math classroom. We were looking for ways that students could demonstrate their problem solving processes and make their thinking visible as they interpreted word problems into equations and expressions. Clips felt like the perfect partner for this work!
First, we asked students to create a storyboard, so they had a clear plan of action before recording on the iPads. Here's a teacher-created example storyboard that we shared with students.
Students were excited and engaged in this work. The enjoyed acting out their assigned word problems, and the active nature of this part of the assignment seemed to help support their thinking in translating their scenarios into expressions and equations to solve.
Video is a powerful tool for making thinking visible. How else might we use a tool like Clips to help students document the learning process while also creating a polished final product?

Very fun video Jessica! Yes, students would be engaged in learning by using Clips. Loved hearing your voice and seeing the emoji - I’d certainly want to learn math like this!
