Percent+Applications

=Percent Applications=

-Task asking students to determine which type of sale is the best deal
 * [[file:Discounts Task Student Samples.pdf]]- Samples of student work with correct responses.

- I printed these out full size and attached them to file folders, with an answer key (sorry, handwritten so the keys aren't attached!). I gave students a recording paper to show work on. For students who were absent I printed this document out 4 to a page so it fit on the front and back of a regular paper.

- Practice and/or note taking problems for calculating discount and sales tax on given items.

- This was originally a Pizzazz worksheet, but it's been modified to add a few extra columns (I think the original just had sale price and total, this adds discount and tax columns).

- Various percent application problems on a powerpoint. (I am also putting this powerpoint in the review section as I use it at the end of the unit as a review- usually with dry erase markers and boards.)

- examples for setting up proportions to solve commission, tip, discount, and tax problems. I've used these where each group becomes an "expert" on their type of application and then shares with other groups. I've also just printed them out 4 to a page to use for notes or extra practice.

- I print these out on cardstock and write the answers on the inside. Students then trade them...it shows the students some of the types of jobs that work on commission.

Our attempt at making a service learning project alternative with can collections.. involving percents, circle graphs, and percent of change.
