For one-on-one or whole-class mathematics instruction, use this Guzinta Math lesson as a supplement for teaching how to determine the percent of a number--a key concept in 6th grade. NEW 5.0 version contains a slicker look, an exploratory module on scaling with percents, and extra questions which appear progressively over 3 weeks from starting the app. The app includes the popular Practice Meter feature, which can keep track of each student's practice level for this app across sessions. The purpose of the Practice Meter is to motivate students to come back and revisit this content and complete modules at regular intervals. Revisit the lesson app to keep your Practice Meter out of the red (or in the blue). It becomes easier over time to maintain your practice level above the key levels of 80 or 25, because the meter depletes much more slowly after a week, then a month, then 3 months, has passed. This math lesson app also includes a new NOTES feature: helpful tips for students, self-explanation questions, further information, and even suggestions for extension or family involvement--for every question and example! Guzinta Math: Percent Of focuses on estimating and calculating percents of numbers, determining wholes given parts and percents, and problem solving with some tough percent problems. For one-on-one or whole-class mathematics instruction, use this Guzinta Math lesson as a supplement for teaching how to determine the percent of a number--a key concept in 6th grade. The app includes detailed instructor notes for each guided practice problem, with notes about extending discussion around each worked example and problem. Instructors and/or students can turn on and use the new canvas feature in the app to write all over the screen--take notes, highlight key terms and ideas, show work, etc. Guzinta Math: Percent Of includes a module that directly determining the percent of a number as well as two new lessons: (1) one lesson that addresses determining the whole given a part and percent, and (2) one lesson in which students solve a few test-like problems involving percents. The answers for this module are not included in the instructor notes to make this a little more challenging!
