Instructional Ideas

• Have classes use a foldable book to record examples of different types of percent problems
• If using as a review, give examples and problems to learners as board work to help gauge understanding

Classroom Considerations

• Meant to be a one-day review; some classes may require more time for review and/or reteaching
• The seventh lesson in the series

Pros

• Includes a thorough overview of the different types of percent problems
• Provides a set of practice problems

Cons

• Uses quick memorizing strategies rather than methods that build an understanding of the concept
• Does not include real-life problems and examples
