I was wondering if anyone could share how you use your document camera with math. If I had one I thought it would be great to use to show students how to use various tools such as: calculators, templates, protractors, rulers, etc. It seems like it would also be a great way to demonstrate how others students solved problems, modeling 4pt answers.

In my kinder classroom I have used mine to demostrate how to use manipulative for addition and subtraction and to demostrate how a clock works for time.

I use mine for Hands On Equations and tossed the "balance" thing that is provided to display. With the DC the image on the display looks just like the one on their desk.. :)

The way I love to use my DC for math is through the use of Math Journals. I show my kids how to keep their math thinking organized and model a lot of math explanations in writing. Additionally, when kids come up with different ways to solve problems, I can put their math notebooks under the DC to show the class their work. It makes for quick, easy, and invaluable explanations! This would be nearly impossible without the DC and not nearly as effective.

I would think it would be great for demonstrating how to play a game. So many times in Math you are demonstrating a card game and no one can see what you are doing. This would give a visual for everyone.

| This would be a great way to do a class probability lesson with dice, or a spinner. |

I use my DC to allow students to share their work. It's great for those logic or multi-step problems, where there are many ways to solve them. The students share their work and share their thinking and learn from each other. I am going to try using interactive notebooks this year, so I think it will be great for students to share what they put in their "student reflection" side of their notebooks to help them make sense of the information.

| Using manipulatives so that the entire class can see makes modeling easier. |

It's great to use with measurement. You can REALLY show measuring to the nearest quarter of an inch, as well as having to start measuring at 0 (even if it's not at the very edge of a ruler.)

One of the difficulties we have with our low-ability students is teaching them how to "explain" their answer, to write what they did. When I teach my title classes, I use one of the workbooks the kids use, only I put it under the camera use the annotation aspect of the software to write with them (this way I don't waste a workbook :-)). I have them write along, but often they leave out words or misspell by not being attentive.. so when we finish, I print the screen for each of them, and they attach the work sample from the camera to their worksheet. That way parents can see what they should have done, and they have an accurate example for study.
We've only been using these books for about two weeks.. but I'm hoping this helps them learn to write their answer...
I also can't wait to get my AverPens, because I think it will be MUCH easier doing this with the pen, instead of having to sit at my computer and use a mouse!

I just love this idea! My students would love this! I can't believe the number of great ideas for using the doc cam!
