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: Where have you seen percentages used? What does it mean to consider 50% of something? What about 10% of an amount? If you had 50% of a dollar, how much money do you have? How about if you had 10% of a dollar?
Focus: Watch the steps the Answer Man takes as he calculates 15% of $15.45. Use a paper and pencil to work along with him and follow the steps. Does the answer make sense? How do you know?
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.Source: TV411: Episode 115
