8th graders are working on Chapter 6, Application of Percent. They have already quizzed over percent problems--solving three different types of percent problems using either a proportion or equation. We will spend next week applying our knowledge of percents and the how it is used in shopping. Concepts of the percent of markup & discount, selling & sale price, and regular price of a sale item will be looked at. It is practical knowledge that students can use and even teach you when out shopping! Simple and compound interest will also be explored. We will test over Chapter 6 before the end of the trimester.
Continue to reveiw math facts--addition, subtration, multiplication, and division--we use them all the time!
