Abstract

It is important for math educators to make sense of student thinking in the classroom. Without opportunities to practice this skill math educators struggle to improve, particularly when students are engaging in mathematics using technology. As such, there is a need for video artifacts of students engaging with mathematics using technology for use in professional development activities (Lovett 2020). In accordance with Lovett et al.'s (2020) design principles for examining student practices in a technology-mediated environment, I carried out a study to determine whether these artifacts of student work could be created working with college undergraduates as participants. Students engaged with a modified version of Amplify's Transformation Golf, to serve as a task of high cognitive demand that encourages visual representation of student thinking. Using Sherin et al.'s criteria for categorizing video clips (Sherin 2009), I found that the video artifacts I created are suitable to be used in professional noticing tasks for teacher professional development.
