Here are some Frame, Focus and Follow-up suggestions for using this video in a math lesson.
What is Frame, Focus and Follow-up?
Frame: If you had a bowl of forty cherries and there were ten people who wanted to share the cherries equally, would you have to physically count out the cherries for each person? What would be another way to make sure there were fair shares? What mathematics would you use?
Focus: As you watch this segment, you will see how the CyberSquad quickly divides the pieces of rock candy into even groups. How do they manage to create the fair shares without actually having to count out the rounds?
Follow Up: How did the CyberSquad create the fair shares of rock candy for the gargoyles? How did they start? What mathematical operations did they use to insure that there were fair shares? How does the idea of "rounds" relate to multiplication?
