Fair Trade Maths

To celebrate Fair Trade fortnight we have been finding out about Fair Trade. One of us pretended to be from an ordinary supermarket, and the other pretended to be from a Fair Trade supermarket. We learned that different supermarkets pay farmers different amounts of money. Fair Trade supermarkets make sure that farmers get a lot more money for growing our fruit and vegetables.  

We have been practising doubling and halving this week too, so we used our skills to try and work out how much money farmers would get if the fair trade supermarket gave them half of their profits. Have a look at our amazing maths skills!
