Print Frame and FocusHere are some Frame, Focus and Follow-up suggestions for using this video in a math lesson.
What is Frame, Focus and Follow-up?
Frame: Sometimes we get a number of items, like candy or money, and we want to share them with others in a fair way. What does a “fair share” mean to you? You may have heard the expression, “dividing it up,” or “splitting it up” when things are shared. What kinds of math are involved in a process like that?
Focus: As you watch the video segment, think about how the girls made sure that they divided up the Halloween candy in a fair and equal way. Consider what kinds of math they used.
We assign reference terms to each statement within a standards document and to each media resource, and correlations are based upon matches of these terms for a given grade band. If a particular standards document of interest to you is not displayed yet, it most likely has not yet been processed by ASN or by Teachers' Domain. We will be adding social studies and arts correlations over the coming year, and also will be increasing the specificity of alignment.Source: Cyberchase: "The Halloween Howl"
