Day 88: Math 6: Percents Less Than 1 and Greater Than 100 / Math 6+: Percent Change

Math 6 students worked with Lesson 6.3: Represent Percents Greater Than 100 or Less Than 1. Students learned that percents can exceed 100 such as 6/5 or 1.34. Percents like 0.25% were converted to their fractional and decimal equivalent.

Math 6+ students worked with percent change and how to solve problems similar to the one pictured below.

 

Skills that were introduced, modeled, practiced, and informally assessed today in class include:

Math 6:

• Write equivalent values as fractions, decimals, and percents.
• Write fractions as decimals and percents when the denominator of the fraction is not 100.

Math 6+:

• 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.

7th Grade Mastered! Moving towards 8th Grade next.

Crushed out a bunch of Khan yesterday.
