In this video segment from Cyberchase, Digit is held captive on Hacker’s ship, The Grim Wreaker. The CyberSquad tracks the Wreaker's movements, and they chart the distance it has traveled over a period of time on two line graphs. After they analyze the graphs, the CyberSquad realizes that the new speed at which Hacker is traveling means he has created portals throughout Cyberspace.

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 wanted to create a graph to keep track of the movements of a pet turtle, how would you set up the graph? What units might you put on the vertical and horizontal axes? If the turtle was moving really quickly what might the line on the graph look like? How about if it were moving really slowly?
Focus: In this video segment, the CyberSquad analyzes two graphs. What information do the graphs display? What does each graph reveal about Hacker’s travels in his ship? How do the results of the first graph differ from the second graph?
