Thur 7 Oct

GPS:  M6N1--Percent word problems
WotD:  discount
HW:  Study for your test tomorrow.

Today we will work on real-world word problems using percent.  We will focus on discounts, tips, tax, and sales.  Tomorrow our test will cover what we have been studying, focusing on fraction operations, percent, and fraction/decimal/percent conversion.

Brain juice:  If you are running in a big race, and right at the end you pass the person in second place, what place do you finish?

  2. It's not really a trick question. If you pass the person in second place, then you're in second place. You have to pass the person in first place to be in first place.
