Print Frame and FocusHere are some Frame, Focus and Follow-up suggestions for using this video in a math lesson.
What is Frame, Focus and Follow-up?
Frame: There are all kinds of shapes in the environment
around us, both natural and man-made. Some shapes are 2-D, or flat, while
others are 3-D, or multi-dimensional. Can you name some shapes you notice right
here in the classroom? Which ones are 2-D? Which ones are 3-D?
Focus: As you watch this segment, try to look for the
various 2-D and 3-D shapes that Bianca and her friend notice in the rocks and
minerals. Write down the names of these shapes as you watch. Which ones are
2-D? Which ones are 3-D?
We assign reference terms to each statement within a standards document and to each media resource, and correlations are based upon matches of these terms for a given grade band. If a particular standards document of interest to you is not displayed yet, it most likely has not yet been processed by ASN or by Teachers' Domain. We will be adding social studies and arts correlations over the coming year, and also will be increasing the specificity of alignment.Source: Cyberchase: "Crystal Clear"
