I turned each 5-part episode (each segment  last about 14 mintues) in an end-of-class activity for students.  For days 1-4, students would review the first 4 parts and make notes in their individual investigation ntoebooks (a.k.a. compoisiton books).  They would record math concepts, questions they had about the investigation, and any people of interest.  On day 5, usually Friday, students would watch the last segment, and then complete their weekly investigation form, focusing on using their notebooks for math concepts, persons of itnerest, questions from the investigation, etc.,Two results of this activity are:Students are more engaged in learning about the day's content and less inclined to be passive learners.Students are seeing concepts covered in both my and previous math classes and how they can be utilized in everyday life.I believe this is asissting students in become not only more active learniers, but also in becoming practical learners where the can utilize content to assist in solving problems.I've attached two of the investigation forms.  One is a completed verison of "The Case of the Missing Baseball" and the other is a ready for completion verison of "The Case of the Dirty Money"  The videos themselves are available on various Youtube channels, and I have heard that the program is available on DVD.
