    In this activity, students will explore percents greater than 100%. They start by calculating prices for a fund raiser using the percent key on the Home screen of the calculator.

    Students then convert percents to fractions and decimals for comparison using the Fraction-Decimal equivalence key and by shading a 100-grid.

    Finally, students look at percents less than 1%. In the TI-NavigatorTM extension, students use a number line to assess their understanding of percents.
