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 are trying to earn money to buy a bike, you might want to keep track of how much you have saved. Let’s say you saved $5 from one job and $5 from another. You could add those two amounts and have $10 saved. But, what if you had to pay for a $12 library book that you lost? You have to borrow $2 from your mom to pay the fine. How would you record your savings situation now?

Focus: In this video segment, Harry earns points for some of his better performances in the events, but he also receives some negative scores, too. As you watch, record Harry’s scores as he participates in each event.
