The 6th grade students will continue to work with percents as we finish Chapter 8 in the textbook.
On Monday, the students will write fractions and decimals as percents. A chart of the common percents, decimals, and fractions is on page 431 in the textbook.
On Tuesday and Wednesday, the students will find the percent of a number by changing the percent to a fraction or a decimal before multiplying. The students will continue the lesson with some real-world applications. They will find the sale price of items using a given discount, and calculate simple interest when given the principal, rate, and time.
Thursday and Friday will be review days for the test next week.
