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 saw the following pattern painted on a wall: a blue 2, a red 4, a blue 6, a red 8, a blue 10, and a red 12. How would you describe this pattern? What color/number combination would come next? How do you know?

Focus: As you watch this video segment, you’ll see that Jackie works with the rest of the CyberSquad to try to complete the pattern on the vault’s lock. Describe the pattern that finally works. Why does Jackie call it a “double pattern”?
