Day 61 Find the Whole Given the Part

6th Grade Math Standards: 6.RP.3c Find a percent of a quantity as a rate per 100 (e.g., 30% of a quantity means 30/100 times the quantity); solve problems involving finding the whole, given a part and the percent.

The Learning Objective: Find the part given the whole.

Quote of the Day: “So often we fail to acknowledge what we have because we’re so concerned about what we want. We fail to give real thanks for the many blessings for which we did nothing: our life itself, the flowers, the trees, our family and friends. This moment. All of our blessings we take for granted so much of the time.” - John Wooden

Question from Yesterday (as always from a student):

Assessment:

Agenda:

1. 99 Restaurant Jumpstart
2. Review the percent of a number material which the substitute covered
3. My favorite no. Mrs. H got 21 questions correct. She scored a 70%. How many questions were on the test?
4. Visual Proportions
5. Coupons

Glass-Half Full: I like making the real world connection right away to the lesson with the 99 Restaurant problem in which the tip is given, but the bill is not.

Regrets: The homework becomes too simplistic after the first four examples or so. There needs to be a variance in the difficulty. Students should need to divide by decimals or use scaling like the My Favorite No question. We could also bring in a percent of a number type of question to this homework which was straight from the book (Lesson 8).
