39. Explanation comparing the scenarios	3:46 - 3:50	Classroom	Medium shot Mr. H explanation	“Now let’s compare each scenario and notice what happens”
40. Graphic 6	3:51 - 4:00	Graphic	Graphic #6 showing mathematical comparison to the 4 banking withdrawl scenarios	Voice over: “Notice that the numerator, $100, remains the same. Look what happens when the denominator, what is being withdrawn keeps getting close and closer to zero.  The number of withdrawls gets larger and larger”
41. Questioning What happens when we divide by zero	4:01 - 4:04	Classroom	re-establishing shot, long shot Mr. H	“What happens if we try and divide by 0?”
42. Student making discovery why they can’t divide by 0	4:05 - 4:10	Classroom	medium shot Student	slamming hands on desk “I get it! You can’t divide by zero because I can take out zero dollars from my account an infinite number of times without depleting my account!”
43. Graphic #7	4:11 - 4:16	Graphic	Graphic #7 indicating what happens when you divide by 0	“That’s right! If you try and take out $0 you will never deplete your account and could make an infinite number of trips to the bank!”
44. Clarification of what “infinity” is	4:17 - 4:24	Classroom	Medium shot	“At this point I just need to get a bit technical and explain some proper terminology since ‘infinity’ is not really a number! I will do this using a simple fraction where I have a variable in the denominator”
45. Graphic #9	4:25 - 4:40	Graphic	Graphic #9 indicating that numbers can get close to zero from both positive and negative directions	Voice over “Notice in this table as the value of the denominator gets closer to zero we can approach zero using both positive and negative decimals. As the value of the denominator approaches 0 from the positive direction our expression gets infinitely large and POSITIVE. As the value of the denominator approaches 0 from the negative direction our expression gets infinitely large and NEGATIVE. In this case we say that zero is a non-permissible value of the denominator because it makes the expression UNDEFINED. We use the word UNDEFINED versus INFINITY in this case because as the values get infinitely large or infinitely negative as the values of x approach zero from both sides of zero.
46. Explanation of Non-permissible values	4:41 - 4:49	Classroom have 1/x written on white/chalk board	Medium shot words “non-permissible values (NPV)” on lower end of screen (as a subtitle) “undefined”	“These values that make the denominator zero and therefore the expression undefined are called “non-permissible values of the denominator” simply because they are not permitted to be there! we say that they make the expression undefined! So, fpr the expression 1/x zero was a non-permissible value of the denominator because it made the expression undefined.
49. call for practice	4:50 - 4:55	classroom	long shot, re-establishing shot view of Mr H and the students in the classroom	Mr H “let’s try identifying some non-permissible values of the denominator in a rational expression! Give these four questions a try”
50. close up of the practice questions	4:56 - 5:04	classroom	medium shot of white board with the four questions on it **** if using white board remove lighting due to glare	Find the non-permissible values of the variable in the denominator for: a) 6/x b) 5/(x-1) c) 7x/(x+2) d) 5/(x^2 + 2x -15)
51. students trying out problems	5:05 - 5:14	classroom	pan still object pan over the students slowly while they are tackling the problems slow motion	students silent trying out the four problems audio: clock ticking sound
52. cut-in shots of students working	5:15 - 5:20	classroom	extreme close up shots of students hands, writing in notebooks, scribbling, erasing, using calculators, etc to be used as cut ins	audio: clock ticking sound
53. starting to go through the problems	5:21 - 5:28	classroom	medium shot film in such a way that the questions on the board are visible	Mr H reconvening the students “Let’s see how this went!” etc inviting students to give answers
54. Student #1 Solution	5:29 - 5:36	classroom	extreme close up of student #1’s handwritten work	voice over “For question #1 I know that if I plug in 0 right away for x that will make the expression undefined so the NPV is 0”
55. Student #2 solution	5:37 - 5: 44	classroom	extreme close up of student #2’s handwritten work	voice over “for question #2 I know that if I plug in 1 for x  that will make the denominator 0 making the expression  undefined so the NPV is +1”
55. Student #3 solution	5:45 - 5:53	classroom	extreme close up of student #3’s handwritten work	voice over “for question #3 I know if I plug in -2 for x  that will make the denominator 0 making the expression  undefined... so the NPV is -2”
55. Student #4 solution	5:54 - 6:10	classroom	extreme close up of student #4’s handwritten work	voice over “for question #4 I think using factors would be easier for this! I factored the denominator which allows me to recognize my non-permissible values easier. know that if I plug in 3 for x for one factor and -5 in for the other factor these values will make the denominator 0 making the expression  undefined. Therefore  the NPVs are +3 and -5”.
56. Congratulations	6:11 - 6:18	classroom	long shot side view	Mr. H telling class that they got them all right, class happy, “we get it”  high-fiving, etc
57. Summary	6:19 - 6:35	classroom	medium shot in front of the 4 questions presented to the students on the white board with answers in view	Mr. H explaining “To summarize, non-permissible values of denominator pop up everywhere in mathematics, particularly in calculus. Having an understanding of why you cannot divide by zero and being able to identify non-permissible values of the denominator will help you understand the concept of limits and allow you to draw complicated graphs later on in future math courses!”
58. Credits	6:36 - 7:00	classroom	long shot of all participants of the video talking, like at the end of a newscast, credits scrolling	music
