Ms Garneau's Math Classes

Math CORE - Week 2

April 14-17th

Thank you for taking the time to review percents last week while you became familiar with the online resources. This week we are going to look at finding percent OF a number. Work through the following 3 assignments at your own pace but make sure you finish before Week 3 starts so you don't fall behind.

If at any point you need help or have a question sign on to my OPTIONAL Zoom meetings. This week our meetings will be Tuesday to Friday between 12pm and 12:30pm (with an option to stay on longer if needed). I will be sitting online waiting to answer your questions. You will be able to privately ask me questions by typing in the chat feature of Zoom, so don't be shy and sign on if you want to watch me go over any questions students have or to ask your own question.

Assignment 1: Finding Percent of a Number

Watch the video below to teach you how to find percent of a number.

Incase you had a hard time following the video here is an example:

YOU ARE ALLOWED TO USE A CALCULATOR! So the easiest way to answer these questions is the second method in the video.

See an example below:

Find 18% of 25

Step 1: Convert 18% to a decimal (remember from last week we move the decimal 2 spots left) -> 0.18

Step 2: "of" tells us to multiply -> 0.18 of 25 means 0.18 x 25

So we would punch in 0.18 x 25 on our calculator and find that 18% of 25 is 4.5

Go to the following link to complete 10 practice problems. DO NOT MAKE AN ACCOUNT! You will be allowed to do 10 questions for free without an account. Make sure if you get any questions incorrect you read the explanation to help you with future questions.

Assignment 2: Rounding Money

Next week we are going to start to look at calculating discounts and tax amounts. Before we work with money we need to review rounding. If we round a number incorrectly we can get an answer that is slightly off. Watch the video below:

Now complete the short Google worksheet on rounding below:
