Percentages - Intro

This math unit initiates with teaching basic conversions from decimals to percents, introducing the concept through various decimal forms, and then progresses into applications involving percentages with increasing complexity. It starts with the fundamental skills of converting simple and more intricate decimal values to percents and further involves working with powers of ten for conversion. The unit then transitions to applying these conversions in calculating percentages of specific numbers using common percentage increments such as 10% and 5%. As students advance through the unit, they explore more dynamic percentage calculations including percent growth, percentage increase, and the percentage reduction of numbers. They also delve into more complex scenarios like calculating a number when a given value represents a certain percentage of it and handling percentages involving monetary values, which cultivates a practical understanding of percentages in real-world contexts. Overall, the unit builds from basic percentage conversion to applying percentages in diverse and increasingly challenging scenarios.Skills you will learn include:

  • Percents as decimals
  • Calculating percents
  • Percent of a number

Percentages - Tax, Tips, and Discounts

This math unit progresses in teaching percentage calculations, starting from basic percentage increase and decrease of numbers, to applying these skills in different contexts like money. Initially, students learn to calculate simple percentage growth by 10%, and then advance to calculations involving multiple increments of 10% for both growth and reduction. They practice recognizing and computing both the percentage increase and decrease from base values using multiple-choice format to reinforce understanding. As the unit progresses, problems become more applied, especially to real-life scenarios such as calculating financial amounts after adding tips, or processing discounts and interest growth. Towards the end, the focus shifts to smaller increments of 5%, which refines their precision in handling percentages in practical situations, such as financial transactions involving prices, taxes, and discounts. The overall goal is to build a strong foundation in understanding percentages and applying them effectively in various real-world contexts.Skills you will learn include:

  • Calculating percents
  • Percent of a number
  • Percents in multiples of 10% or 5%
  • Percent increase or decrease
  • Tax, tips, discounts

Percents and Simple Interest - Intro

This math unit begins with an exploration of simple interest, where students first learn to calculate interest using principal, rate, and time. This skill is expanded upon by solving for different variables such as principal and rate based on given values of interest and other factors. As the unit progresses, students also learn to determine the time required to earn a specified amount of interest. These initial topics set a strong foundation in understanding how interest accumulates in financial contexts. Later, the unit shifts focus to the growth and reduction of money through percentage calculations. Students practice calculating the final amount of money after applying percentage increases and decreases in specific multiples (10% and 5%), considering various financial scenarios including tips, interest growth, taxes, and discounts. This transition from simple interest calculations to broader percentage manipulations allows students to apply their mathematical understanding in diverse and practical financial situations. This progression enhances their capability to handle real-life financial tasks efficiently.Skills you will learn include:

  • Simple interest
  • Single payment of interest
  • Interest from principle, rate, and time
  • Principle from interest, rate, and time
  • Simple interest formula

Percents and Simple Interest - Practice

This math unit introduces and develops the computation and understanding of simple interest, a fundamental concept in financial mathematics. Initially, the unit focuses on applying the basic simple interest formula \( I = P \times R \times T \) to calculate interest from given values of principal, rate, and time. As the unit progresses, learners delve deeper into the components of this formula, understanding the meaning of each variable and how they interact. Further advancement in the unit involves manipulating the simple interest formula to solve for other variables besides interest, such as principal, rate, and time. This deepens learners' ability to rearrange and solve algebraic equations, enhancing their mathematical flexibility and problem-solving skills. By the end of the unit, students are proficient in deploying the formula across a range of contexts and scenarios, dynamically adjusting calculations to derive various financial parameters from given data sets. This progression not only reinforces their grasp of percentages and their application in real-life financial situations but also sharpens their algebraic manipulation skills.Skills you will learn include:

  • Simple interest
  • Interest from principle, rate, and time
  • Simple interest formula
  • Principle from interest, rate, and time
  • Rate from Interest, principle, and time
  • Time from Interest, principle, and rate

Percentages - Practice

This math unit revolves around the application and mastery of percentages, starting from basic operations with decimals and percent calculations, and progressing to practical financial applications. Initially, students practice multiplying decimal tenths by tens to grasp decimal operations. The unit then delves into percentage calculations, beginning with simpler tasks such as determining what percentage one number is of another using 10% and 5% increments. As proficiency develops, students engage in calculating exact percentages of numbers even in 1% increments. The unit advances to applying these percentage skills to real-world scenarios involving percentage growth, reduction, and changes in numbers, emphasizing multiple real-life applications including financial scenarios like money growth and reductions. Operating primarily in 5% and 10% multiples, it gradually guides students through increasingly complex percentage problems, enhancing their computational abilities and preparing them for diverse practical applications of percentage calculations in everyday life.Skills you will learn include:

  • Calculating percents
  • Percent of a number
  • Percents in multiples of 10% or 5%
  • Percent increase or decrease

Percentages - Advanced

This math unit guides students from basic to more complex applications of percentage calculations, starting with finding set multiples of percentages of a number and advancing towards applying percentages in realistic scenarios. It begins by familiarizing students with calculations of simple percentages (10% and 5% multiples) of given numbers to build foundational skills. As the unit progresses, the complexity increases as students learn to compute unknown quantities when one number is a defined percentage of another, utilizing real-world examples like calculating percentage increases or decreases. The unit further delves into scenarios involving financial contexts, emphasizing how percent changes affect money through calculations of percentage growth on investments or price reductions. Each step advances the learners’ ability to manipulate and understand percentages in various practical and everyday contexts, culminating in proficient application skills.Skills you will learn include:

  • Calculating percents
  • Percent of a number
  • Percents in multiples of 10%, 5% or 1%
  • Percents larger than 100%
  • Percents smaller than 1%
  • Percent increase or decrease
