Find percentages in real-world contexts.
Clarifications:

Essential Understandings

Concrete:

  • Use tools (calculator, manipulatives, base ten blocks) to multiply decimals.
  • Convert percentages to decimals; convert decimals to percentages.
  • Understand the relationship between fractions and percentages (e.g., 100% is one whole or 1, 50% is a one half or 1/2).
Representation:
  • Understand the relationship between decimals, fractions and percentages ratios and proportions (e.g., 100% is a whole or 1, 50% is a half or 1/2).
  • Identify quantities in a problem that relate to the solution. (e.g., Jane bought 3 blouses for $5 each. Her items were on sale for 50% off. How much did Jane pay?)
  • Understand the following concepts and vocabulary: percentage, decimal.

Category: Access Points
Date Adopted or Revised: 06/14
Cluster: Analyze proportional relationships and use them to solve real-world and mathematical problems. (Major Cluster)

Clusters should not be sorted from Major to Supporting and then taught in that order. To do so would strip the coherence of the mathematical ideas and miss the opportunity to enhance the major work of the grade with the supporting clusters.
