Week 7

(Module 1 Topic 3 Lesson 3 - 4: Percent Increase and Percent Decrease)

Learning objective = Students compare the percent relationships in markups and markdowns, tips, discounts, commissions, fees, and taxes. Students apply the percent increase and percent decrease formulas and then investigate a situation with a percent increase, followed by the same percent decrease.

Parents can support learning at home by helping students connect this week’s lesson to real-life examples and practice explaining their thinking. Encourage your child to explain each step aloud rather than simply memorize a rule = SAMPLE TEST QUESTIONS + MORE QUESTIONS

***If your child needs more challenge, they can move at a faster pace by using this site to study the concepts of future lessons. Mr. Pierre will strive to prepare lessons two weeks ahead of the current week. Also, Khan Academy is a great enrichment resource***
