Description
Introduce your 6th-grade math students to word problems involving finding percentages. This digital interactive notebook includes a simple lesson with 35 integrated practice questions. Infuse interactive practice into your daily lessons to keep kids engaged!
Content:
This digital notebook reviews solving word problems involving finding percentages. Students are introduced to the concept of percents through visual models. Students practice with a clickable multiple-choice game. Then, students learn to find percents by converting the denominator of a ratio to 100, by reasoning with a table, and by finding a unit rate (with division) and then converting it to a ratio with a denominator of 100. This lesson is part 10 of the rates/ratios 6th math digital notebook bundle. Lesson 11 extends student understanding of percentages by teaching students to find a whole based on a part and the percent given.

What Technology Do I Need?
Students need their own Google Accounts and a device to access and manipulate this notebook. 1:1 devices will work best. You will also need a Google Account to save and share this resource. It is easiest to share via Google Classroom, but the resource can also be shared via email. It will be helpful to have a Smart/Promethean Board to display lesson slides for group lessons.
Why Use Digital Notebooks?
⭐️ Bite-sized lessons
⭐️ Integrated practice problems
⭐️ Increasing complexity
⭐️ Built-in differentiation
It's a struggle to fit a clear, thorough lesson AND practice time into each math class. We all know that children need BOTH. I designed these digital notebook products to feature clear bite-sized lessons (taught by a friendly llama) infused with practice opportunities that slowly build students' skills and math vocabulary and increase in complexity. Use the lesson slides to introduce the standard; then quickly engage students in practice and exposure. The lessons include the silliness middle schoolers enjoy and the variety of activities builds confidence. The lessons also include a variety of question types that familiarize students with the language of math.

My Inspiration:
I was inspired to make these notebooks because many students would struggle to complete a single practice worksheet on paper after a lesson. One misconception can cause them to falter. While I helped some, others would waste time waiting for my help. The next day, it was time to move on to a new lesson and I felt I was leaving students behind. These notebooks scaffold students by offering choices (drag-and-drop), giving instant feedback (clickable game), and by anticipating misconceptions (a friendly llama teaching guide). They get more practice, exposure, and confidence. Plus, the notebook is a great study tool as students can replay the clickable games again and again.
Options for Use:
Teach a mini-lesson with the teaching slides provided. Then, circulate as you invite students to practice. Check their work and resolve misconceptions. Pause after each practice set for class discussion and introduce the next activity set. You can allow students to work in pairs to help one another.
Differentiation: These notebooks give you the option of differentiating for advanced students. Early finishers can work ahead if you post multiple interactive notebooks on Google Classroom. You can check their work online and pull them in a small group to add complexity or fix misconceptions. Struggling students can play the clickable game several times until they gain confidence. Also, students can work at their own pace. You may not require all students to complete the "Challenge Zone" assignments. Also, students who need extra help can complete their quick check in a small group while others work independently. Sometimes, I let students self-select their group by asking if they feel confident to work alone or if they would like to come to my table to get more help.
