Flipped Classroom Video
I decided to create a video on equivalent fractions due to this being my next unit of study with my students in math. Personally, I think this is one of the hardest concepts in our fractions unit and I think it would be very beneficial for the students to have some background knowledge on the day we begin to practice the skill. Students will have an understanding of the word equivalent before watching the video and will know how to compare fractions using fraction bars that are either equivalent or not. In this video, students will be looking at a circle and need to determine the equivalent fraction of the shaded part of the circles. I will model how to do this with the video.
Enjoy!
Any feedback on the video would be greatly appreciated!

Hi Rebecca,
ReplyDeleteI loved your video on equivalent fractions. I think that the way you explained it was very simple and direct which is helpful for third graders. This concept can be very difficult for these little guys so it is nice that you show them a variety of ways to see equivalent fractions (fraction bar vs. circle)
I also see that you teach the Wilson Program (the alphabet in the background). Hopefully your kids are benefiting from it like mine are!
Rebecca,
ReplyDeleteI loved your video on fractions! You seem so relaxed in front of the camera, which is perfect because it also puts your students at ease. You did a wonderful job explaining a complex concept in a very simple method using visuals to help explain. If students watch this as a preview/ building background to your full lesson, they will begin with confidence. Have you ever done flipped lessons before? Can you see yourself doing these types of mini-lessons more often in the future? Using short simple videos like the one you made seem like an ideal way to apply the flipped method in an elementary classroom.
Thanks for sharing!

Crystal-
DeleteYes, I can definitely see myself using the Flipped Classroom method using short videos like the one I created. I think creating these short videos would help parents as well as the students understand how I teach some of those trickier concepts. I just had conferences and I heard many parents say they weren't sure how to help their child with math. Making simple videos would definitely help with the stress of homework at home!
Thanks for your reply and feedback!
Rebecca,
ReplyDeleteYou did a nice job with your Flipped Class video. One thing I would suggest for the future is to give the kids a practice problem to work on. That way, instead of just a preview (which I use often as well) You can differentiate with your videos and have students create a product for you to come into class with. Nice work!
Yes! I actually did not even think of this when I did my video. I watched many of our classmates examples and noticed they did this. I think creating an assignment and a practice problem for them to do for their homework is an excellent idea! Thanks for suggesting it!
DeleteHi Rebecca!
ReplyDeleteI loved your video on equivalent fractions, and I think it will really benefit your students to view the video before they come to class!
This is something I would like to try myself, for I feel that it would really benefit my students and their families to have these videos for math concepts, in particular multiplication and division (due to the many different ways we teach our students to solve those problems) and fractions!
I am still trying to figure out how I would like to implement Flipped Learning in my room. I would like to start with an in-class model that I found through my research, along with videos such as yours to send home for support.
Thank you for your example video!
