Teaching and response guide
- Begin with: Write 25% as a decimal and a simplified fraction.
- Connect the response to: 15 is 30% of what number?
- Ask students to apply the idea: Why is the increase from 40 to 50 different in percent from the decrease from 50 to 40?
Watch for: Accepting an answer without checking whether it uses the material and satisfies the requested relationship or criteria.
Check the answer criteria for each task. A supported explanation may have more than one acceptable response. These activities offer evidence to discuss; completing a sheet alone does not establish mastery.
