Interactive Math Lesson - Finding the Percentage (Activinspire Flipchart)

Title of the lesson: Finding the Rate when the Percentage and Base are Given
File: Interactive Activinspire Flipchart
Grade Level: 5-6

How to solve for the percentage:
A. Using a Proportion
Set up a proportion that uses the percent over 100.
2. Cross multiply to write an equation.
3. Solve the equation.
To set up your proportion, think, "IS over OF equals PERCENT over 100".
The formula is P/B = R/100

B. Using a Decimal
1. Change the percent to a decimal.
2. Multiply that decimal by the number you are finding the percent of.
Use the formula: R x B = P

a. Activity 1- Naming the Baby
Materials:    flashcards with percent
Mechanics:
a) Ask each pair of pupils to name the baby (the question on the card).
Sample flash cards:
• 2:8 in percent is
• 0.35 in percent is
• 2 in decimal is
b) The answer is written on their Show Me Board.
b. Activity 2— Find My Partner
Materials:    flashcards with decimals, ratio, fractions, percent Mechanics:

25%     0.25    0    5    0.2    10:100    10%    1/5
b) Each pupil has to decide on the time limit in looking for their partner.
c) Each pupil has to look for their partner within the time limit prescribed.
d) The pairs having their cards flashed should be checked.

2. Motivation

Ask the pairs of pupils on how they use their school supplies. Sample: "Do you use the front and back page of your notebook? Why?"

B. Developmental Activities
1. Presentation
a. Activity I - Use of Compatible Numbers Through a Transparent Plastic
10 x 10 square — manipulatives
Jethro's teacher tells them to use bond paper of 5 or less for their Math project. If Jethro uses 3 sheets, what percent of the bond papers does he use?
1) Ask the following:
a) Who is making use of bond paper?
b) Who tells them to use bond paper?
c) What does their teacher tell them on how to use their bond paper?
d) How many sheets of bond paper does Jethro use?
e) If you were Jethro, will you be doing the same? Why?
2) Get a big square having 5 equal parts and shade the 3 parts to represent the 3 sheets. The big square has the same size and shape with the transparent 10 x 10 square. Place this 10 x 10 square on top of the big square. Lead them relate the equivalent of shaded 3 parts to 10 x 10 square.
3) Let the pupils answer the following questions.
a) What are the given facts?
Let them point to which among the given answers for the base and percentage using the Techan's Triangle.'
b) Guide them to decide what to do to come up at the answer.
c) What equation best suits in the problem? Ask the pupils to write the equation about the problem. Have each pair of pupils relate the formulated equation to the manipulatives as in:
3 out of 5 sheets of bond paper
3/5 x100=N=0.6x100=60%
d) What proportion best translates the problem? Have the pairs of pupils write the proportion to arrive at the answer of the problem and use the counters in relating the formulated proportion and the solution as in:
            3/5 =  N                                           3:5 = N:100
            5 x N = 3 x 100                                5 x N = 3 x 100
            5N = 300                                         5N = 300
            N = 300/5                                        N = 300/5
            N = 60%                                          N = 60%
b. Activity 2 — Use of Real Situation Problem as Opener
Sample:
Sixto, a grade six pupil nas 24 sheets of art paper for his, project in Math. If 6 sheets of art paper were used by Sixto, what percent of the sheets of art paper does he use?
1) Ask the pupils the following questions:
      a) Who uses art paper for Math project?
      b) How many sheets of art paper does he have?
      c) How many sheets of art paper does he use?
      d) If you were Sixto, will you be using all the sheets of art paper and ask some more? Why?
      e) Will.you do what Sixto has done if you were Sixto? Why?
2) Let the pupils analyze the problem.
      a) What does the problem want you to solve for?
      b) What are the data given?
      c) What are the data needed? Ask them determine the base and percentage in the Techan's Triangle.
      d) What will you do to find the answer?
      e) What equation best translates the problem?
      f) Guide the pupils write the equation to solve the problem.
      g) What proportion fits in the problem? Lead them write-the proportion.
                 6/24 = N/100                          6:24 = N :100
                 24 x N=6x100                            24 x N = 6 x 100
                  24N = 600 /100                            24N = 600
                  N = 600/24                                       N = 600/24
                  N = 25%                                          N = 25%

2. Generalization
