In this enrichment lesson, students will use technology to demonstrate their understanding of intradisciplinary and interdisciplinary concepts by creating a math video on how they use mathematics in their daily lives. Throughout the activity, they will be able to apply, analyze, synthesize, and evaluate information gathered from observation or through experiments as they work with their peers in a collaborative setting.
