This week we started chapter 3 which is all about the relationship between fractions, decimals and percents. Students made visuals to represent values such as 11%, 0.11, and 11/100 so they could see that these are truly all worth the same amount.
We worked more with "Giant Ones" to help make equivalent (equal) fractions. We also learned a new strategy for calculating percents, it is called the "Percent Ruler."
If you are curious about these "Giant Ones" and "Percent Rulers" check out the videos that I posted on the "Honors Math 6" class tab. They are helpful for students who have been absent, or those students who benefit from seeing something a couple of times.
Have a great weekend!
