So I recently went to a math department meeting with several people from around the company and around China. I was able to talk to my colleague in Hangzhou about how he flips his classroom. I thought I would share the resources and ideas.
He goes to another teachers website to get the tutorials and videos. The teacher has videos series for alegbra, geometry, pre-calculus, and calculus AB. He records the videos using a screen recording site so he or the students don't have to depend on the internet. The recording site has a maximum of 15 minutes for free which is much better than screenr.
The site comes with worksheets to be filled out as the student watches the video. This is the homework they have to turn in or be quizzed over. Sometimes the teacher gives a short 5 minute quiz where he has the students write down their answers to some of the questions from the worksheet. This is done to check that they did the worksheet. Then in class students can work on worksheets that go along with the video.
I am looking forward to less time lecturing and more time working with students. This way I can just focus on talking with the students about the content.
My colleague found this resource just by checking around what was on the internet. So I suggest you keep looking for resources and sharing them with others.
If you are interested in flipping the classroom in math then this will give you the resources or structure to follow. If you are interested in flipping the classroom in other curriculum areas this will give you an idea how to structure.

- I love to teach and I love math. Teaching has always been a passion since I was in 5th grade. I gained a love of math later in eighth grade. I have been told that I always have a smile on my face and a song in my heart which is the best description of me.
