Edpuzzle
EDpuzzle is an innovative site that lets you take just about any video, edit it down to the portions you want, add audio notes and questions for students, and create virtual classrooms where you can monitor individual student work.
There is a free and a paid version.
You can use the Edpuzzle chrome extension to turn almost any video into an interactive learning experience for your students.
Pow
Use Edpuzzle to create an interactive maths tutorial to explain a concept or a strategy. Add stops to check understanding.
Or... get your students to use Edpuzzle to explain their thinking and identify the important steps needed to solve a problem.

Ted Ed Riddles
Ted Ed riddles are engaging and fun videos that pose a problem, many of them maths based, for you to solve. After a pause they go on to explain the solutions.
Great computational thinking activities!
Insert a video into Google Slides. (Copy the URL from You Tube.)
Use video format options to play just parts of the video.

Chunk the video on different slides. Play the riddle on one slide, and the solution on the next. Add a slide in between for students to show their thinking.

What do students need to do to solve the problem?

Encourage them to break the process into steps.
