Description
Get your students to really understand the percent proportions and what each piece of the proportion means. These challenge students to think further about the problems to calculate the missing parts, percents or wholes.
The questions include concepts like percent tax and commission and how they relate to real world scenarios.
There is a detailed answer key to show how the percent proportion can be used to answer these questions.
I run this activity as stations where students work in groups of 3-4 so they can discuss the different aspects of the problems. Students will work for 4-5 minutes on each problem and then rotate stations to the next problem. These can be used as homework questions or simply as task cards.
I recommend you run this activity after you have taught the basics or percent proportion and students have some understanding of how to identify the part, percent and whole when given.
