Zoe is reading books over vacation and wants to know at her current rate, how many will she finish by the end. Building on prior knowledge of fractions and ratios, young mathematicians learn how equivalent rates are used to answer her question. After viewing the presentation, work through the practice problems as a class before assigning the Test Yourself questions as independent classwork. A great resource for making connections between math class and the real world.
