I told the students that we would be continuing the lesson we had started yesterday titled “4.6 Percent as a Ratio (continued)” because we did not get to finish the lesson because we had the GST assembly period 5 (see the Oct 1 blog posting for further details). I went over a number of examples to help the students see the different ways we can use percent as a ratio and how to solve various problems using percentages. After going over the examples, I then assigned the homework for the students to work on (pages 137 & 138 #1 – 8). Before I let the students work on the homework, I did a short review activity which the students on the digital projector. We played “Ratio Jeopardy”. I called 2 students up at a time and had them compete against each other to answer a question related to ratios and proportions. After the activity, I then had the students work on their homework for the remainder of the period.
Below you will find a copies of the handouts/worksheets that were distributed/assigned in today’s class.
