Our Big Percentages Test started our week off with a bang! I am super excited at the scores I know I will see out of my students!

What a fun week we have ahead of us in math! Students are beginning to apply percentages to real world situations such as paying the bill at a restaurant, purchasing items at a store, and using coupons to receive discounts. Parents, help your student by showing them receipts from your purchases and looking for commercials, inserts into magazines or sales flyers from stores advertising % off purchases. Finally some math that we can apply directly to everyday life!

After our extensive study of fractions, decimals, and percents, students should be able to convert from one form to another with ease. Our PopQuiz this morning will hopefully reveal our skill level with this task.

Mid-week will find us ordering fractions, decimals, and percents while at the end of the week, we will arrive at finding a percent of a whole number (i.e. 40% of 500, or 15% of $75).
