6N6+-+Percent

We are learning that percent means out of 100. Students need to be able to show percent as squares shaded on a chart, as a decimal, and as a fraction.

Here is an example: If the fraction is 6/10, I would color 6 squares for every 10 square in the grid. The percent is 60% and the decimal is 0.60. I could also use a calculator, and put in 6 divided by 10 equals and the answer would be 0.6. This means 60 squares would be colored.

Here are some games to help:
