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: Have you ever had to cut something up into equal parts to share it fairly with friends? How did you make sure the parts were equal? We call pieces like these, pieces that are equal parts of a larger whole, fractions. Do you know the names of any fractions?
Focus: As you watch this segment, notice how many parts the laurel wreath is cut into. Matt names the parts. What does he call them? Are they fractions? How do you know? How does the CyberSquad make sure that the parts are equal?
