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: When we look at a fraction we see two numbers. For example, ½ has a 1 on top and a 2 on the bottom. What does the 2 on the bottom mean? What does the 1 on the top mean? What do we call the top number of a fraction? What do we call the bottom number of a fraction?

Focus: As you watch this segment, ask yourself these questions: How does Digit figure out how many jewels are missing from the Amulet? How did the 4/7 fraction clue from Grubby help them?
