Youre response demonstrates what great progress youre making. The values in the table for
question 1 are all correct and youve even included the proper symbol for the percent of tiles! Your
explanation is thorough and well written. You clearly explain the strategy used to convert the
percent to the number of tiles using complete sentences and appropriate vocabulary. Why do you
think the strategy worked? Think about what you know about fractions and percents. What other
strategy could you have used to find the number of tiles for each color? Also, your design used to
complete the grid in question 2 is neatly organized and labeled. Nice work!

Well supported explanation. I can see you have a clear understanding of equivalent fractions and
percents as your response nicely describes how 25% is equal to . This is also supported in your
neatly organized and labeled work shown. If Als department store offered an additional 5% off,
would L-Mart still have the better deal or would they cost the same amount? How do you know?

Great work calculating the price of the discount and sale price. Make sure you use this knowledge
in your everyday experiences as a savvy financial consumer! Check the placement of your dollar
sign ($.) If the total was 15 dollars and 25 cents, where would the decimal point go? Where should
your dollar sign go? Remember math has its own language and its really important to use the
proper notations, so be sure to check your writing as well as your work.
Total Score: 100% Overall Comments: You did a great job representing equivalent fractions, decimals and percents in
correct notation. Think about other ways to use percents. If you had 3 incorrect questions on a 20 point quiz, what would
your grade be as a fraction? What strategy could you use to calculate your grade as a percent?

This question asks to think about the progress Jimmys made toward his goal so far and use this
information to predict how long it will take him to run the total 100 miles if he continues to make
the same progress. So, if Jimmy keeps jogging 20 miles every 2 weeks, how long will it take him
to jog all 100 miles?

Nice work using the procedures we learned to rename fractions as equivalent percents!
Remember math has its own language and its really important to use the proper notations, so
be sure to use the % symbol when writing percentages.

Remember discounts are part of the whole or total taken off the total cost. Discounts are
fractions or percents that represent part of the whole cost of an item. So, What is this question
asking? what number model can be used to solve this problem? Think about the meaning of
percent. Use what you know about equivalents and solving fraction of problems when making
your corrections.

If she paid $140 for a coat with the 10% discount, what percent of the regular price would she
be paying? How can you check to see your percentage is correct? When correcting your
answers, use what you know about multiples of 10 to check your work.

How do you know the TV costs less at Als Department Store? Youve done a nice job
converting to an equivalent percent, but how can you use this information to figure out how
much the T.V. costs at each store?
Total Score: 27/33 Percentage: 81%
Overall Comments: You know how to convert between fractions, decimals, and percents like a professional! You still
need work on finding the percent of a number, using strategies for calculating percentages, and applying concepts and
procedures to solve real-world problems. Try setting a goal and we can work on reaching it together.

Remember the word percent means out of 100. How can we use this information and what
we know about equivalent fractions to find the percent of shots made? Think about the grid
whats shown on the grid to help you make your corrections.

This question is asks to think about the shots Glorias made so far to predict how many shots
she would make out of 100. Think about the fraction for the 15 out of 20 shots shes made so
far. The numerator is the part of shots shes made and the denominator is the whole or total
shots taken. So, if the total or whole was 100 shots, what can we do to find the numerator or
part of shots shes made? Use what we learned about equivalent fractions!

How did you convert 0.80 and 80% to 4/5? What strategies can be used to convert a percent to
a fraction? You correctly identified the decimal equivalent as 0.25, so now think about the
meaning of the word percent to help you find the equivalent fraction!

I can see by your work that you know fractions are related to division. When dividing a fraction,
does the numerator become your divisor or dividend? Remember that fractions and decimals
are parts of a whole, so make sure to think about whether your answers make sense. If 7/16 is
less than 1 whole, then the decimal equivalent should represent the same amount. Check your
work for reasonableness when making your corrections.

I like how you wrote the formula we learned for converting fractions to percents! Note taking is
a really important strategy to use even in math! Nice work identifying and applying the
conversion procedures!

You correctly converted 10% to an equivalent decimal, but remember discounts are fractions or
percents that represent part of the whole cost of an item. So, what is this question asking you
to find? What number model can be used to solve this problem? Think about the meaning of
percent to find a fraction equivalent to 10%. Then, use what you know about solving fraction
of problems when making your corrections.

subtract the new discount you find after making your the corrections to the total price of the
coat. What strategies could you use to check your work? If she paid $140 for a coat with the
10% discount, what percent of the regular price would she be paying? How can you check to
see your percentage is correct? When correcting your answers, use what you know about
multiples of 10 make sure your answer makes sense.

I can see by your response that is equivalent to 25% and that the discount needs to be
subtracted from the regular cost of the item to figure out the sale price. But first you need to
find how much money to subtract. Remember a discount is how much money you save. Its a
part of the whole or total cost that you take off. So, if the TV costs $200 at L-Mart and has a
25% off discount, what number model could you use to find 25% of $200? Think about the
meaning of percent as out of 100 to write a fraction equivalent to 25%. Then, use what you
know about solving fraction of problems to solve. Make sure to repeat the procedure to find the
sale price of the TV at Als Department Store before deciding who has the better deal!
