I've been asked a few time about the math movies that Marc and I created. I got the idea one morning (at 2 am!). I was awake, and my mind was racing. I got excited about the idea of making a 'commercial' much like the wonderful Mac/PC ads that I love! The trick was going to be to try to take some really big numeracy concepts and condense them down into a one minute movie. Certainly we could say a lot more, but what were we trying to get across?
Marc and I sat down and began by brainstorming some tensions that teachers, parents, admin, and students face when exploring numeracy. Then, we picked one and started to jot down some ideas. After about 20 minutes or so, we rehearsed it a few times, yet left it open enough for some spontinaeity. I love how Marc says "manipulatives" in the way he does! Thanks Marc, now I've said it the way you did when I'm working with teachers! Hee hee...
