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 it is 3:00 in the afternoon and you have soccer practice at 5:30 p.m., how much time do you have before practice begins? How do you calculate this? What if it is 2:35 p.m. and you must leave your house at 2:50 p.m.? How much time do you have before you leave? How do you know?

Focus: In this video segment, Matt helps Digit calculate how much time he has left to finish preparing his recipe. What two facts does Matt know that help him figure this out? What mathematical operation does he use?
