This video provides third grade students and teachers an example of where to start a
mathematical reasoning problem similar to the one on the graphics page. The students are able to
view and listen to the reasoning needed to start the problem rather than using a guess and check
strategy. Students are able to watch the video and practice solving the problem simultaneously.
Audience
The audience for this video presentation is third grade students and teachers at Goshen
Post Elementary. All of the students in the group are eligible for gifted services in the area of
language arts, math or both subjects. Although not all students will be able to solve the problem
in the video, going over what to think about helps the problem be accessible to all students.
Justification of Software
I used the program PowerPoint to create a storyboard. I will also be using PowerPoint to
make my video and include text. PowerPoint allows flexibility when aligning objects compared
to the formatting in other applications. The storyboard helped me plan out my video with a goal
in mind. The storyboard helped me consider the essential knowledge when solving the problem
as well as the information that could be excluded. The elements in solving the problem that are
the most critical needed to be emphasized virtually. The storyboard is a wonderful tool to use
when planning. I chose to use the PowerPoint software with an added voice and screen capturing
program on my MacBook Pro. The video allows the student to see every step at the beginning of
After using my storyboard to help plan out my presentation, I began creating the presentation
material needed for the video. This included the title slide, the definition of the word given and
an example problem with interactive number tiles. I separated these slides, so that students could
listen while each piece of information was being discussed. This will help the students follow
along with each step of the problem and do as I do. I then opened screen and voice recording
application built into my MacBook Pro. To open this app you can hold command, shift and 5
simultaneously. A toolbar then pops up on the bottom of the screen. Make sure you select the
fifth image over titled “record selected portion”. A resizable dotted rectangle will show on the
screen. By dragging the sides of the shape, resize the rectangle to the size of your presentation
screen. When choosing my presentation area, I selected the PowerPoint screen. When the screen
size is selected, click the record option on the bottom right of the toolbar. The recording will
capture your screen, mouse and voice. The finished video will pop up in the lower right hand of
the screen. Double click the window and the video will open in the center of the screen. Push the
play button to replay your presentation to double check for any errors. Lastly, click the export
button in the top right corner of the video window and select save to photos. This will save the
video to photos. I then logged in to youtube.com and uploaded the video from my photos to
YouTube. I changed the required settings to make my video viewable to the public. I then went
to my Google Site Multimedia page. I selected the YouTube element over to the page and then
clicked to paste the URL. The video is now embedded onto the Google Site.
Concept Framework
I used PowerPoint to create a simple flowchart of the information I wanted to cover along
with the order. I chose to use PowerPoint due to its editing flexibility and ease to align. Creating
of this chart allowed me to visually find a stopping point for my video due to time. I was able to
