In this video segment from TV411, a WNBA coach and one of her players talk about attendance at their games. They use fractions and percentages to analyze the shooting results after they play a game of one-on-one. Then they use these same math ideas to correlate the number of fans to the percentage of the arena that is filled.

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: Fractions and percentages are two ways to talk about the same quantity. For example, some boxes of candy will have a dozen candies in them. If you split the box evenly with a friend, what fraction of the box do you keep? What percentage of the box is that? What if you shared a full box with three friends? What percentage do you get? What fraction of the candies is that?

Focus: In this video segment, the coach and the player discuss the attendance at their games. They consider how many more fans would be needed to fill their arena to 75% capacity. As you watch, keep track of the steps they use to figure this out.
