A five-question interactive challenges mathematicians to solve word problems involving fractions as percents. Baking two different types of cookies and needing the exact amount requires scholars to make fractions, turn them into...

Bet classes didn't know playing checkers help with understanding percents. An interesting interactive has pupils consider a series of moves in checkers. It then requires them to answer a set of challenge questions on percentages...

Three chapters worth of integer, fraction, and decimal problems to give you every type of question your learners need to be a successful mathematician. Thankfully the work has been done for you and this is a huge resource full...

For kids, taking a vacation is all fun and games, but after completing this pre-algebra project, they'll have a whole new appreciation for the planning that makes these trips possible. Given a budget of $5,000 to spend on purchasing the...

To recall or not to recall, that is the question. Using provided data, pupils calculate the percent of people that may fall ill on average. The scholars determine the standard deviation based upon the mean and the empirical rule,...

Aspiring astronomers study stars. They compare stars and explain the relationship between radius, mass, and diameter. By creating a star simulation, they discover how a binary star system's orbit can cause changes in the observed...

Give your learners a small taste of the business world by calculating percent error and percent increase. The resource provides several practice problems to give your mathematicians practice setting up the ratio to convert to percents....

Math in real life IS a thing and your learners can see how when they practice ratio word problems. Use the handy ratio to convert between measurements and figure out the answer when given a change of information. Resource also comes with...

This PowerPoint provides the steps needed to change a fraction into a percent. Each slide displays the steps in written details, along with an actual example of the problem. This PowerPoint is effective in introducing the steps of...

In need of an all-inclusive seventh grade math resource? Packed full of the topics necessary for Pre-Algebra the packet includes practice problems with different difficulty levels. It works great for any supplemental use needed...

In this math PowerPoint, the process of multiplying whole numbers and fractions is broken down into clear, sequential steps. Examples of each step are given numerically and in simple, easy-to-understand text. Story problems and examples...

Helpful after a lesson on percentages, this worksheet can reinforce the steps and formulas necessary for finding percentages. Students calculate the percent one number is of another, and then the percent of change (increase or decrease)...

Students convert numbers to fractions, decimals and percents.  In this conversion lesson, students convert fractions, decimals and percents to a specified form.  Groups of students play a conversion index card game.  A...

In this decimals and percents worksheet, 8th graders solve 26 different types of problems that include expressing numbers as a decimal and a percent. Then they change each number to fractions and determine the unknown number for each...

In this taxes, tips and salaries worksheet, students read story problems and determine the sales price, percent of change, amount of tax, and final price.  This four-page worksheet contains 8 multi-step prolems.  Answers are...

Free clothes? In the middle school assessment task, learners first consider whether four 25 percent reductions will result in a sale price of $0. Mathematicians then determine the sale price and discount percentage of such a sale.

Let's save some money! High schoolers investigate different options for price reductions. They then determine the best and worst sale from a list of options.

Keep track of a state's population. After a brief discussion on how population data is used for funding, individuals look at population changes over time. Pupils find the population of two states using three different censuses. They then...

Analyze trends in the stock market using histograms. Future economists use data presented in a histogram to find periods of greatest increase and decrease. They also draw conclusions about days that would be best to invest.

Media often misrepresent data and statistics to their advantage. This lesson asks scholars to analyze an article with misleading statistics. They use margin of error and mean data in their studies. Once they complete their analysis,...

Learners find the percent of increase or percent of decrease. Through a teacher demonstration, they examine the methods of calculating percentages. Students solve real life problems.

Sixth graders convert decimals and percents. They observe a teacher lead demonstration of converting decimals to percents and percents to decimals. Students practice what they have seen.

Students solve problems dealing with percents using "is over of" algorithm.

Percent proportion problems (say that three times fast!) can be a tricky thing for young mathematicians to ace. But practice makes perfect and this resource provides five different versions of the same topic as a worksheet. Although no...
