The table below provides a break down of the video content and makes suggestions about the lesson units where certain sections would be most useful. (NB not all VCR counters are calibrated similarly and so these counters are only a guide).
It is assumed that the teacher will in fact watch the full video as this provides an excellent insight into many of the concepts.
