Global 3000 is Deutsche Welle's weekly magazine that explores the intersection of global development and the environmental and social conditions of the diverse cultures of the world. In each program, host Michaela Kufner presents three to four video-rich segments that profile a different part of the planet where man's quest for economic and industrial strength is jeopardizing the ecosystems and the social and economic structures of people thousands of miles away. The program not only documents where those struggles are taking place - but how some groups and individuals are finding solutions to the growing problems of global development.

This program on fractions is the fifth of 13 programs within the mathematics section of the series GED Connection. This episode explains the concept and many applications of fractions to make them more understandable and useful to adult learners who may have been previously intimidated by them. It explains a fraction as both a part-to-whole relationship as well as another way to write a division problem, using numerator and denominator. The program shows real-life uses of fractions in accurately measuring something, keeping time to musical beats, and in a horse trainer's calculations of required dosage and supply of medicine needed. The program explains how to find common denominators for adding and subtracting fractions, as well as how to subtract by borrowing from the whole number. Cross canceling or factoring is shown to be an easy way of simplifying a problem. Composites, numbers with many factors, and prime numbers, those whose only factors are one and themselves, are also addressed. Dividing is shown to be the same as multiplying by the reciprocal; and dividing by a number less than one is done the same way, except the result is a higher number than the dividend.
