Day 90: Percents Greater Than 100 and Less Than 1 / Percent Increase-Decrease

In Math 6 today, students worked with Lesson 6.3: Represent Percents Greater Than 100 and Less Than 1. A percent greater than 100 is equivalent to more than one whole. This is something to thing about as we create an equivalent fraction and decimal. When working with percents less than one, we need to know that the decimal equivalent will have a zero in the ones place.

Students in Math 6+ continued their work with percent change when comparing two numbers.

All classes are going to have a quiz this Friday.

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)
