Plan it, Film it, Screen it!
Do any of your students love making videos? Would they love to see their videos go viral and have a chance to win some great prizes in the process?
Matific is encouraging teachers and students to celebrate mathematical learning, engagement and creativity by entering a film in the Matific Maths Film Festival.
All primary school students are invited to participate. To be in the running to win some great prizes, simply choose a Matific episode, and then plan, film and screen a creative review - it's really that easy!
You don't even need a Matific Login to take part!
How to Participate
Organise your team
You can be in a team or by yourself. Each group can have a maximum of 4 students.
It might be helpful for each group member to take on a differnet role for the video.
For example:
- Recorder - responsible for the camera being used to film the video
- Reporter - responsible for making sure that what is said is loud and clear
- Writer - responsible for writing what is going to be said
- Editor - responsible for putting the video together before finalising.
It can be a team effort and these roles are only guides.
Plan it
Students are required to choose a Matific activity from the options below.
All entries must ensure that they answer the following 3 questions as part of their review:
1. Why did you choose this Matific episode?
2. What skill are you learning/practicing?
3. How do you know if you're getting better?
Film it
After the planning has finished students need to record their episode review.
Students can use many different audio/visual programs to put their reivew together, whatever they need to bring their vision to life. There are a lot of free apps available that will work just fine.
The video must be between 2 and 4 minutes long and needs to address the three key questions listed above.
Screen it
Send us your video and fill in the
submission form
before the end of Term 4, 2018.
Once you have submitted the video we will share it on our YouTube channel and send you your video entry link. This new link that we send you is your competition entry that you can share out with the world.
We need to store the video on our own Youtube channel so that we can properly count the views.
