8th-grade math students created, solved, and justified individual multi-step equations. Pictures of their work were uploaded to a collaborative slideshow. Students then created audio and/or video recordings of themselves explaining how they worked out their problem using the record feature within Google Slides. The result was a neat curation of student-designed math tutorials! 📷 🎤 #ThreeCs
