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 had four candy bars of equal size, it would be easy to share between two people. How would you do that? But, what if you had seven candy bars and they were different sizes? How would you go about doing that? Are there any strategies you could use to help you make fair shares out of items that are not all the same size?

Focus: As you watch, think about the strategy the CyberSquad uses to solve the problem. How does knowing about the relationship between different fractions help them? What fractions do they encounter here? How are these different fractions related?
