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: How do you normally keep track of time? Are there other ways to keep track of time besides using clocks and watches? If you didn’t have a watch or clock and you wanted to time how long it takes you to run once around a track, how might you do it?

Focus: As you watch this video segment, listen for Matt to describe how much time the CyberSquad has to get to the mummy chamber and back. What unit of measure does the CyberSquad use to talk about the amount of time?
