Day 56: Fraction & Percentage Conversion

6th Grade Math Standards: 6.NS.6 Understand a rational number as a point on the number line. Extend number line diagrams and coordinate axes familiar from previous grades to represent points on the line and in the plane with negative number coordinates.

The Learning Objective: Convert between fractions and percents.

Quote of the Day: “The formula is 6-2-7; breathe in for 6 seconds, hold for 2 and breathe out for 7 seconds. Many times, the heart rate in training is far lower than it is in competition. This change in arousal between competition and training usually has adverse effects on performance. With this in mind, it is a priority for athletes to learn to control heart rate so that training and competition arousal states are similar.”

Question from Yesterday (as always from a student): If we divide 100 by the denominator and multiply the numerator will that get a decimal equivalent?

Assessment: Circumventing the room during homework, exit ticket

Agenda:

1. These 4 problems done in groups by class section. Whoever can point out the most "one of these things is not like the other" wins. 
2. Review the homework by having students go to the board and pepper
3. Fraction to decimal ticket to leave
4. Fraction to percent notes
5. Fraction to percent practice
6. Work on the weekly quiz

Glass-Half Full: The warm up problem was engaging, vocabulary enriching, and involved teamwork.

Regrets: There was a great deal of time to work on homework. I wish students had more focus so that they had more time to get the weekly quiz done.
