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: Let’s say there is a certain flower that always has five petals. How many petals would there be in total if there were six of these flowers? How about if there were 26 flowers? How do you know? How can you keep track without counting each petal?
Focus: In this segment, Delete's sneezes create clones of himself. Watch to see how Inez tries to keep track of how many clones there are even though she can’t see them all. How does she do it?
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.Related Resources:
