Ratios and Proportions
This video resource from Teachers TV is presented by Fran and Dave, who demonstrate a practical application of ratio and proportion as they prepare for a dinner party.
The number of guests requires the adaptation of recipes for both food and drink. Graphics are used effectively throughout the video to explain ratios as a 'part to part relationship' and proportion as a 'part to whole'.
Calculations are performed in stages throughout the video, offering a pause point for teachers to hold a freeze frame on screen while students discuss the problem and perform the calculations themselves.
