Saw a neat tweet from Gary Rubinstein earlier in the week:
Our first project with his videos used his “Russian Peasant” multiplication video. That project is here:
Using Gary Rubinstein’s “Russian Peasant” video with kids
Today my older son is away at camp, so I was working with my younger son alone. I asked him to pick another one of Rubinstein’s videos and he picked the one on perfect numbers.
After watching the video I sat down with him to do a project – there was enough in Rubinstein’s video to easily fill three short videos, but we did just one. It was absolutely incredible to see how much my son took out of the perfect number video. There’s a fun and totally unexpected and unplanned connection with the Russian Peasant video at the end, too:
I love it when the projects go this well 🙂
