In this video segment from Cyberchase, Bianca is invited to attend a movie premiere. On her way she must stop at her cousins’ birthday party. Unfortunately she is delayed when her car runs out of gas and then gets a flat tire. She is running out of time to get to the premiere, so she consults a map and makes a decision about which route would take the least amount of time. She bases her decision on the distance of each route and the speed limit allowed on each road.

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: There is usually more than one way to get to a destination. Let’s say you want to get from a classroom at one end of the school to the cafeteria at the other end. There are two hallways that will take you there. One hallway is a straight path, but it is usually very crowded. The other hallway has some turns and is definitely longer, but it is never crowded. How would you make a decision about which hallway to take? What factors would you consider?

Focus: In this video segment Bianca is running out of time to get to the movie premiere. She consults a map and makes a decision about which route will be the quickest. What are the factors that she weighs to make her decision?
