Description
This is an engaging mini unit that would work great for an in-depth look at representing percents and percent of a number. The resources are well-organized and differentiated so they are accessible to a wide range of students.
Students learn:
- Solve multi-step percent problems involving percent increases and percent decreases. Includes applications in financial literacy. Examples: simple interest, tax, markups and markdowns, gratuities and commissions, fees, population growth, etc.
- Understanding how percent changes combine. For example: Discounting an item by 25% and then further by another 25% is not the same as reducing the item by 50%.
Includes:
- Detailed lesson plans
- Number talk + Warm-Up Ideas
- 2 sets of comprehensive and visual scaffolded notes (with lesson video).
- 2 Sets of task cards for collaborative group work.
- 2 Individual worksheet assignments (differentiated into 3-levels)
- 2 Checkpoints with student self-assessment (can be used for review)
- 1 quiz with rubric and key
- 1 challenge assignment with extending questions (for early finishers)
- .docx and .pdf files included
- All resources are editable and come with a step-by-step key
Instructional Time:
There are lots of optional extensions included. These activities can take your class anywhere from 4 - 10 hours.
