Graphic boxes in the workbooks ensure that students arrange the numbers and operators properly. There is also space to practice copying the math problem without boxes. In the third step, Discuss, teams make sure that all members can clearly explain the solution. In the final step, Predict, students predict Fizz's reaction to the answer and draw an expression on his blank face in their workbooks. After each step of the process, teachers quiz students on their teams' answers.
Cards contain pictures of the story's characters.
The class then watches the second half of the video episode. The consequences of the math problem are blended back into the narrative, and each episode ends with a cliffhanger. At the end of each episode, the video engages the class in a series of estimation problems. The teacher's guide includes a Walkthrough, classroom script, Fizz impersonator hat, and Clip Art. The guide also includes tips for preparing the class, carrying out activities, working with different populations within the classroom, creating and managing student teams, and evaluating student responses.
