In this video segment from Cyberchase, the CyberSquad is trying to get to Motherboard by using a Teleporter. Unfortunately, the Teleporter breaks into three different colored base pieces and three top pieces—a chair, a lamp and a projector. The squad must figure out how to put the Teleporter back together correctly or it will destruct. They use clues and the process of elimination to determine the correct pairings.

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 someone is thinking of a triple-digit number and asks you to guess what it is. If you can only ask “yes or no” questions, what kinds of questions might you ask? How would you record the information?
Focus: In this segment, the CyberSquad has to correctly reassemble the broken Teleporter. They get three clues from the kiosk to help them do this. How does the CyberSquad organize the information they receive?
