Overview: Students will model and use percents in real-life situations.  Connect the understanding of the relationships between fractions and decimals and apply that knowledge to percentages and the conversions between these different forms of rational numbers.  Students will use their knowledge of percents to analyze and display data in a circle graph.

Focus: Using prior knowledge of proportions and percents, students will be able to transfer data between tables and circle graphs.

TEKS: 6.03(b), 6.10(c), 6.11(c), 6.12(a)

Lessons:

  • Monday: Converting Fractions, Decimals, and Percents Quiz. No HW assignment.
