In this video segment from Cyberchase, Matt and Digit need to set up tables so that 20 workers will each have their own spot at a table as they assemble circuit boards. After arranging workers around five tables (in video segment "Arrangement 1"), Matt finds that there are still six workers without seats. He must go back to the drawing board to figure out how many more tables he needs to seat every worker. Check out "Arrangement 3" to see how Matt finally solves the problem.

Print Frame/Focus

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: Let’s say you were getting ready to play a math card game at school. You can seat two people at a desk, but there are six people who want to play the game together. How many desks would you need and how would you arrange the desks so that everyone will have a seat and can play the game?

Focus: As you watch this video segment, you will see that Matt and Digit have put five tables together to seat twenty workers. Why didn’t this work? How many spaces for seats did they lose?
