#MTBoSBlaugust Day 12: Mathematical Mindsets Norms Video

Somehow in my stream of consciousness Google clicking this week, I ended up on Cathy Yenca's (@mathycathy) blog post from 2013 on First Day Favorites. I loved the professional and engaging look of her video and it dawned on me that I could use this to convey a message I wanted kids to hear from me clearly and consistently.

Thinking back to my readings about math class norms from Mathematical Mindsets, I decided to create a video to summarize what I want my students to walk away from the Post It Activity knowing I believe about them. It's brief and will ensure that all my classes are hearing a consistent message from me. Once we wrap up our class discussion, I'm planning on playing this for them and having them reflect as an exit ticket.

I have the file saved if anyone wants me to send it so it can be tweaked! Like Cathy, I used the free trial of VideoScribe to create this! It's super user-friendly!

    I'd like a copy of the norms video as well. Could you email it to me at pabriggs@leepublicschools.net?

    Thank you
