velvetpageI've bought these for the girls for Easter - one each to eliminate the current fighting over Biz's Fisher-Price camera. They were on sale for $30 at a local Canadian Tire.
I also picked up two for school. One of the assignments this week is for a pair of kids to decide on the best way to cut a birthday cake so that the birthday child gets exactly twice as much as all the other attendees. Then they have to videotape one partner or the other explaining their method. They get to decide on the number of people at the birthday party, thus ensuring that each group will be representing different fractional amounts.
Downside: the camera has just enough memory for one video, so I may have to come up with an SD card to put into it temporarily until I can get the school to buy one. Also, I'll have to check on the battery situation.
Upside: they can record their presentations when they're ready, and I can show them when I'm ready, not to mention saving them for something like, say, a job interview about my math program in six weeks' time. I think that's worth using my own SD card.
