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 you cut a string of licorice into ten equal parts and kept two of the pieces, what fraction would you use to describe how much of the licorice you kept? What decimal could you use to describe that same amount? Are decimals numbers? How and why are they used?

Focus: In this segment, the CyberSquad is trying to find the right size piece of railroad track to replace the one that Hacker ripped out. Unfortunately there are no pieces of track left that are the exact right size. What does the squad do to replace the missing piece? How did they use what they know about decimals?
