Day 90: Math 6: Topic Six Midpoint / Math 6+: Simple Interest

Math 6 students were administered and completed their Topic Six Midpoint. This assessed covered Lessons 6.1 - 6.3. The Topic Six Post-test is on Thursday, February 1st.

Math 6+ students were introduced to simple interest. Students were allowed access to calculators for this skill.

Skills that were introduced, modeled, practiced, and informally/formally 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.
• 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.

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.
• Use proportional relationships to solve multistep ratio and percent problems. Examples: simple interest, tax, markups and markdowns, gratuities and commissions, fees, percent increase and decrease, percent error. (7th Grade)
