Geometry tends to be a problem for students in math. The fact that geometry involves theorem and postulates that are in technical mathematical terms makes it difficult for anyone to understand. Peer teaching would be a great way to translate this language from technical to conversational language. My byte to byte project would be a research and presentation using video. 

Lesson Plan

1.      Lesson needs to use a tablet or smart phone to record video.

2.      5 minute time limit

3.      Address theorem and misconceptions associated with it.

4.      Must turn in 1 draft videos.

5.      Must engage viewers. Get rid of talking heads (sage on the stage).

6.      Can use YouTube to publish. 

 

• Monday - chose a partner or small group to work with and begin researching your topic online.

• Tuesday - Groups should discuss “how” they will present the topic and determine if they need props, charts, posters, etc.    

• Wednesday - This is script writing day.  Groups should finish their ideas of exactly how the video will go.

• Thursday - Students will do a practice run of their video.

• Friday - Taping day, students should be completely ready to make their video. (Draft turned in)

• Weekend - Edit and re-tape
