Description

Get students excited about real world mathematics using compelling major motion pictures! Each student will complete a movie note-taker specific to their assigned character. Once the movie is complete, students will gather in groups of four, one representing each movie character, to reflect on the movie and share impressions from the point of view of their character. β€œGood note-taking templates to use while my students viewed the film. Allowed students to discuss the film from different perspectives.” -STEMtastic Teaching

Step out of the classroom and into math history with these three captivating movies. You will love the thoughtful discussions prompted by the Movie Reflections Guide as students merge the four points of view from the movie. Progress comes at a price to its pioneers. Time will fly while students dive deep into the issues of these math movies spanning time from The Great Depression to The Space Race.

This Bundle Includes:

1. Hidden Figures

2. Something the Lord Made

3. The Imitation Game

These movies and their accompanying materials are suited for students in grades 7 through 12. Although prepared for classroom use, each movie can be completed independently if you have a student who is absent and has access to the movie. These lessons also make excellent sub plans. Each movie activity project takes three 60-minute blocks or two 90-minutes blocks to complete.

Included materials for each movie:

  • Teacher Instructions
  • Movie Note-taker (4 editions)
  • Movie Reflection Handout
  • Six Extension Idea
  • Five DOK-4 Questions
  • Answer Keys (5)

What other teachers are saying…

β€œMy students loved this activity so very much! We used it to create a cross-curricular experience for Math, Science, and Social Studies Classes. I loved that I could use it with a sub while I was out of the classroom and relate it to the real world.” – Linda Zuniga (Hidden Figures)

β€œMy students loved the movie and the note taking sheet kept them focused. I really liked that the students were able to focus on different points of view.” – Bethany S (Something the Lord Made)

β€œI love this resource and the idea for projects that spiral from it! Watching Hidden Figures during Black History Month - such an amazing movie.” -Nahida A (3 Movie Bundle)

Hidden Figures is one of my favorite movies. It teaches diversity and how real women used math to solve NASA's space problem! This resource navigates the students to learn these different aspects. Thank you!

Questions & Answers

Standards

to see state-specific standards (only available in the US).
Make sense of problems and persevere in solving them. Mathematically proficient students start by explaining to themselves the meaning of a problem and looking for entry points to its solution. They analyze givens, constraints, relationships, and goals. They make conjectures about the form and meaning of the solution and plan a solution pathway rather than simply jumping into a solution attempt. They consider analogous problems, and try special cases and simpler forms of the original problem in order to gain insight into its solution. They monitor and evaluate their progress and change course if necessary. Older students might, depending on the context of the problem, transform algebraic expressions or change the viewing window on their graphing calculator to get the information they need. Mathematically proficient students can explain correspondences between equations, verbal descriptions, tables, and graphs or draw diagrams of important features and relationships, graph data, and search for regularity or trends. Younger students might rely on using concrete objects or pictures to help conceptualize and solve a problem. Mathematically proficient students check their answers to problems using a different method, and they continually ask themselves, "Does this make sense?" They can understand the approaches of others to solving complex problems and identify correspondences between different approaches.
Reason abstractly and quantitatively. Mathematically proficient students make sense of quantities and their relationships in problem situations. They bring two complementary abilities to bear on problems involving quantitative relationships: the ability to decontextualize-to abstract a given situation and represent it symbolically and manipulate the representing symbols as if they have a life of their own, without necessarily attending to their referents-and the ability to contextualize, to pause as needed during the manipulation process in order to probe into the referents for the symbols involved. Quantitative reasoning entails habits of creating a coherent representation of the problem at hand; considering the units involved; attending to the meaning of quantities, not just how to compute them; and knowing and flexibly using different properties of operations and objects.
Construct viable arguments and critique the reasoning of others. Mathematically proficient students understand and use stated assumptions, definitions, and previously established results in constructing arguments. They make conjectures and build a logical progression of statements to explore the truth of their conjectures. They are able to analyze situations by breaking them into cases, and can recognize and use counterexamples. They justify their conclusions, communicate them to others, and respond to the arguments of others. They reason inductively about data, making plausible arguments that take into account the context from which the data arose. Mathematically proficient students are also able to compare the effectiveness of two plausible arguments, distinguish correct logic or reasoning from that which is flawed, and-if there is a flaw in an argument-explain what it is. Elementary students can construct arguments using concrete referents such as objects, drawings, diagrams, and actions. Such arguments can make sense and be correct, even though they are not generalized or made formal until later grades. Later, students learn to determine domains to which an argument applies. Students at all grades can listen or read the arguments of others, decide whether they make sense, and ask useful questions to clarify or improve the arguments.
