In this video segment from Cyberchase, the CyberSquad must divide up thirty-five pieces of rock candy evenly among seven gargoyles in order to stop Hacker’s control over the gargoyles. Jackie suggests that they figure it out by sharing the pieces of rock candy in rounds, but Inez has a better idea. She thinks that using numbers will allow them to solve the problem faster.

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 a bowl of forty cherries and there were ten people who wanted to share the cherries equally, would you have to physically count out the cherries for each person? What would be another way to make sure there were fair shares? What mathematics would you use?

Focus: As you watch this segment, you will see how the CyberSquad quickly divides the pieces of rock candy into even groups. How do they manage to create the fair shares without actually having to count out the rounds?
