Posted: February 27th, 2010 by MichelleDesigned to accompany Holt Course 2, Chapter 6, Sections 3, 4, 5, & 6, for 7th graders.
Addresses TEKS 7.3A.
This flipchart places a heavy emphasis on conceptual understanding through Singapore Math-style model drawing and proportions with scale factors. Problem difficulty ranges from very basic to quite challenging. Topics discussed include: finding the percent of a number, finding the percent one number is of another, finding a number when the percent is known, percent of increase or decrease, and percent applications such as discount, tax, and tip.
It is assumed that you have already taught the meaning of percent and fraction/decimal/percent conversions.
