This 30-minute classroom video immerses middle school teachers in a real-world Grade 6-8 math lesson that actively develops algebraic thinking. It shows how the teacher prompts students to analyze patterns, articulate the relationship between input and output, and represent these ideas through diagrams, tables, and informal expressions. The session shifts attention from abstract content to classroom practices -- teachers observe how tasks are structured, how students verbalize their thinking, and how the lesson encourages the use of functions and variable reasoning. The primary goal is to help viewers identify and critique strategies that make algebraic thinking accessible, engaging, and meaningful to young adolescents.
In the Classroom
Have students design growing patterns using manipulatives (such as tiles or cubes), record the changes, and describe the rule. Then, challenge classmates to figure out the rule from the pattern. Present simple number patterns (e.g., 2, 4, 6, 8...) and ask students not only to write the rule (e.g., "multiply the position by 2") but also to explain why it works. Provide students with partial input-output tables, ask them to determine the rule, and encourage multiple representations with words, equations, and graphs.Add your comments below (available only to members) | Become a Member

In the Classroom
After watching a ClickView math video, present students with real-world problems related to the video's content. Have them work in pairs or small groups to solve the problems using the concepts they learned. Host a "Math Video Showcase" where students present math tutorial videos they made to the class, allowing for peer feedback and discussion. After viewing a video about art techniques or historical art movements, students can create their own artwork using the methods discussed. Following a ClickView science video, organize a hands-on experiment related to the video's content. For example, if the video discusses ecosystems, students can create mini-ecosystems in a jar. After watching a video on a literary topic or a story, have students create their own short stories or scripts incorporating themes, characters, or settings from the video. Share the stories using a digital storytelling tool such as Book Creator, reviewed here.Add your comments below (available only to members) | Become a Member
