Introduction Have you ever thought about how much better learning would be if you
Task were able to learn by watching an informational and entertaining video,
rather than reading the information straight from a textbook? In my many
Process years as a student, I had to make a few math videos of my own. These
Evaluation videos were intended to teach you in a fun, exciting, and modern way!

Title A math video is an easier way to explain a concept that many people
find hard to understand. It contains information in an entertaining and
Introduction simple manner in order to keep the viewer engaged. Would you rather
Task have someone explain a concept to you, or read about it on your own?
Process
Imagine that you are a teacher and you need to create a video to
Evaluation explain a difficult topic to your students. In this WebQuest, you will
Conclusion create a video that is comical and theatrical which will help your
students remember the information better because it will serve as a
mnemonic device. The video will help them learn and retain the
information because it will be entertaining, and they will remember it.

1.Your first step is to look up and view several math videos on the internet. This will give you ideas
for your own video. Use the following links to assist you.
• mrhiggins.net
Title • youtube.com
Introduction 2.Choose any topic from Chapters 4 through 8 in your book. Be sure that you fully understand all of
the concepts surrounding that topic.

Graphs. Upper Saddle River, NJ: Prentice Hall, 2001. Print.
Process Next you will choose a specific problem that you would like to work out in your
Evaluation video and explain to your viewers. (Your video could be over a difficult formula in
which you come up with an easy way for students to remember that formula, or it
Conclusion can be over the process and steps you would take to solve a problem)
3.Think outside the box! Try to come up with the simplest way to solve the problem. Figure out
how you will transform the steps of solving the problem into an entertaining and informative video.
Be creative, engaging, and clear with you explanations. Use ideas that other people can relate to.
Whether it be a popular song that you put math words to, a dance, or a funny saying to help them
remember a step in the problem solving process.

3.Film your video using a digital camera or a video camera. This can be done in two ways. You can
record short clips and edit them together later, or you can film one continuous clip.
4.Edit your video. Add additional pictures, sounds, and special effects.
1. At the end of your video you should add credits. Feel free to add bloopers, deleted
scenes, etc. Also in the credits, be sure to have a works cited/reference section, stating
where you obtained your information, pictures, music, etc. If it is not yours and you fail
to cite it, that is plagiarism!
