Day 89: Relate Fractions, Decimals, and Percents / Percent Change

Students in Math 6 worked with Lesson 6.2: Relate Fractions, Decimals, and Percents. During the lesson, students will generate equivalent fractions, decimals, and percents using 100 as the whole as well as dividing fractions. The hope is that students see that fractions, decimals, and percents all represent ways in which to describe parts of a whole.

In Math 6+, students worked with percent change when comparing prices of the same item. Click here for your evening practice. Please only complete the odds and there is an answer key to check your work.

Today's Learning Objective(s):

• Find a percent of a quantity as a rate per 100 (e.g., 30% of a quantity means 30/100 times the quantity); solve problems involving finding the whole, given a part and the percent.               (6th Grade)
• Use proportional relationships to solve multi-step ratio and percent problems. Examples: simple interest, tax, markups and markdowns, gratuities and commissions, fees, percent increase and decrease, percent error. (7th Grade)
