OBJECTIVE: Solve problems using the percent equation. (10-8, Pp400ff)[1.1.6] ACTIVITIES: Review the brief introduction to the percentage proportion review. Emphasize the use of the proportion equation model. After some problems work, i.e., P402 13-24, have students brainstorm situations where the parts of the data add up to 100 percent NOTES: HOMEWORK:#1 Bring a protractor     and compass  . #2 Provide three examples of where the parts of the data add up to 100%. In other words, define what makes 100% of a group using specific examples.   [Percent Proportion Problem Solver]
