Join Zoe and Sam as they use proportions to budget money for their Green Earth Club. Watch as they set up and solve a series of proportions using cross multiplication and division. A great resource that brings together prior knowledge of equivalent fractions, ratios, and algebraic equations. The video does move quickly, so consider periodically stopping to allow learners to follow along and perform the calculations themselves.
