I searched for linear equations on YouTube and this is the link for the video I watched: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ft2_QtXAnh8.

This video requires interaction from students because it is a direct instructional video. When students open this video, they should take notes along with it, then they can simultaneously understand the content of the lesson. If there is any point that they cannot understand, they can go back to the video and watch it again. This video also requires students to think about this topic to achieve one example to more. I strongly suggest students can do some practice after watching this video since practice can help students consolidate their memories on these knowledge points. At the same time, this activity can help students to self-reflection and find out which part is not fully grasped. Throughout the online resources, students can report their feedback on Discord or Mattermost, then I can clearly know the students’ self-learning abilities. Moreover, they can go to Brightspace to take quizzes and check their understanding. This activity does not cause much work because I prepared this before I gave the link to students, and this video is very detailed and easy to understand. I believe my students can handle it and actually, I like to prepare more videos and practices to help students move to the next step. Just in case some of these students find this too easy and want to start the next level directly. And I put the link of the e-book to students so that they can study with their own processing. I think this is manageable and worthwhile because I want my students can fully understand. Mathematics is one of the boring subjects in many students’ eyes, I want to use my way to let students enjoy solving functions and understand the charm of mathematics.
