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: Suppose your class was trying to gather information about the favorite ice cream flavors of students in your school. How would you go about doing this? Would it be important for each of the students taking the survey to answer the exact same questions? How could you organize the data to help you figure out which flavors students liked the most?
Focus: In this video segment, the CyberSquad gathers information about Hacker’s whereabouts by doing a survey of local residents in Castleblanca. What did they realize they had done wrong in their first survey? What did they do to make the survey results more helpful?
