Maths Vlog

In another attempt to encourage learners into speaking about maths and develop their understanding of maths, I am trialling a task I'm calling Maths Vlog...again until I can think of a better name. This task involves learners creating a stack of objects in front of them and talking about the objects in relation to the concept being learned. This monologue is recorded then embedded into a Google Slide as if creating a vlog.

As can be seen in the example, the task is reusable (unlike worksheets), realia based (unlike many apps), and has some basic scaffolding to aid in learning.

The idea of Maths Vlog came from the success of SSR Selfie for promoting reading and FlipGrid for talking about maths. Hopefully this will be as successful as SSR Selfie in engaging learners with their basic maths concepts and provided the much needed mileage in using maths verbally.
