There is a 100 percent chance this resource will help pupils connect percents to financial literacy. Young mathematicians use their knowledge of percents to find markups and markdowns in financial situations in the seventh segment in a...

What a great resource. More than just a worksheet, this packet also includes examples and notes at the beginning of each section. The material covers all of the main standards in pre-algebra and can also be used for parts of an Algebra I...

Start with the basics and move up the exponential ladder to master a variety of problem-solving and application problems. The problems are heavy on exponential growth and decay, compound interest, and natural log.  

If Sal has fifty dollars in his pocket and everything at the store is 25% off the marked price; What is the highest marked-price item he can buy? He also demonstrates what would happen if he invested $100 and gained 25% the first year,...

Sal uses some real life examples to explain percent gain. He also demonstrates how to convert percentages to decimal numbers in order to solve the problems.

Math can be taxing at times. With a short lesson plan, pupils determine how income tax affects take-home pay. Learners determine their net pay based on tax tables and how adjustments in their gross pay changes the paycheck.

What was the original? Scholars learn how to find the whole when given the percent and the part in a percent problem. Eager learners use their skills to respond to several questions on a worksheet.

Solve two-step percent problems with a single multiplication. By reviewing how to find the percent of a problem, the video introduces the idea of finding multipliers to find solutions for increasing or decreasing percent problems. Pupil...

Increase or decrease the value. Individuals learn how to determine a new value after being either increased or decreased by a percent. Pupils then practice their skills using a worksheet that covers the concepts.

How much did it change? The presenter works two problems to demonstrate how to calculate percentage loss and increase. Pupils have one learning exercise to practice similar problems on their own.

Review a percentage of math skills. Designed to review for the General Certificate of Secondary Education Math assessment, the resource provides practice with a variety of percent problems. Items provide pupils problems ranging from...

Here's a resource that's rich with learning opportunities. Future mathematicians investigate the poverty rate in America over time. They use an interactive to compare the poverty rate during the Great Recession of 2008 to other years,...

How much plastic do manufacturers use to create water bottles each year? The class explores the number of water bottles used throughout the years to determine how many consumers will use in the future. Class members compare different...

Statistically, waste may become a problem in the future if people do not take action. Using their knowledge of statistics and data representation, pupils take a look at the idea of waste generation. The four-part unit has class members...

Interpreting coefficients becomes a taxing situation. A two-question assessment provides a scenario of calculating the total cost including tax of a clothing purchase. Pupils interpret the different components of the coefficient of the...

Increasing or decreasing? Given an exponential function, scholars identify it as representing exponential growth or decay. They then determine the percent rate of change of the function.

Increase the percent of pupils that are fluent in solving change problems with an activity that asks class members to look at problems that involve either increases or decreases and to express the change in terms of the percent of the...

Asses the class to determine their knowledge of proportional relationships involving percents. Class members work through the nine-question assessment with a variety of percent problems. The multi-step problems involve simple interest,...

Pupils work several real-world problems that use percents in the 11th portion of a 20-part series. The problems contain percents involved with taxes, commissions, discounts, tips, fees, and interest. Scholars use the equations formed for...
