About the Lesson
This lesson involves solving word problems dealing with percents by using visual and numerical representations of percents.
As a result, students will:
- Grab and drag points to change the sizes of rectangles that represent the base and the percentage in each problem to create a visual representation for each problem.
- Analyze the percent equation for each problem, and make connections between verbal, visual, and numerical representations in order to establish patterns in solving percent problems.
