The material used in this lesson is part of the EMPower math curriculum.

Discussion of
Ratio and Proportion Video
At Network 2008, the Massachusetts Coalition for Adult Education annual state conference, MLoTS staff did a workshop in which teachers viewed MLoTS videos and discussed them. This is a video of one of those discussion groups, in a noisy room with several other teacher discussion groups. Because it is sometimes difficult, over the din of others eagerly talking, to hear what a teacher is saying, you will find short text summaries in some sections of the video.
