CCSS.Math.7.RP.2c.EE.3(NQ2a). Percent of a Number

Dear Girls and Boys,
Homework: Read the blog, watch the videos and record in your video notebooks.  Pay close attention to the vocabulary and learn to use it when talking math!

We are moving onward to Percent. We are still in the Performance Indicator of Rates and Proportional Reasoning though.  
I am certain that you have heard about percents when you see something on sale, or pay at a cash register and have to pay the tax, or even if you have been to a restaurant and had to pay sales tax and a tip to the server.  
 In these lessons, we will learn how to solve percent problems that are all around you!  
Examples of percents are 5% 2.5% 100% -  Percent is dividing a number by 100.   In these lessons coming up, you will be working back and forth between PERCENT=FRACTIONS=DECIMALS. As in all subject areas, math has a vocabulary as well.  Once you have the vocabulary down, the rest is a bit easier!

This is BRODY! He belongs to Owen.   He is so cute and I just want to cuddle with him!
As  always in MATH,
Mrs M
