Resources to Make Sense of Percents



Hi Manoj,


When I taught 9th grade, the assumption of the curriculum was that students had a solid knowledge and foundation of percents. What they were, how they related to fractions and decimals, and how they applied to real life.

Unfortunately, that was not the reality for my students. As I tried to teach them important life skills involving percents (discounts, tax, tip, etc.) they struggled. And I struggled as a result, because I didn't have time to go back and re-teach things they were supposed to be comfortable with already!

If students don't have a solid understanding of percents, it won't even help to hand them a calculator because they won't know how to punch in the calculations.

Practical Percents is filled with lessons to engage students, and help them make connections between fractions, decimals and percents. The lessons build on each other in a way that makes sense.

And most importantly, it will help you teach important and meaningful life skills to your students. And all the work and planning is done for you! Just choose the lessons that are most important and relevant to your students, and you're ready to teach and explore.

For a limited time, you can grab this complete resource for 50% off, as a thank you for being a valued reader.

Engaging Online Math Program for Ages 3-9

Hi Manoj, When my kids were little, I used a variety of resources to teach them to read, along with our core curriculum. One of my kids, however, struggled for quite some time, and so eventually we added daily practice with Reading Eggs to our school time. This bit of extra practice and support was just the thing my child needed and today is an avid reader. Because of the great experience we had with Reading Eggs, I was thrilled to have the opportunity to try out their math program, Mathseeds . If you're not familiar, Mathseeds is an online math program for ages 3-9 . Using short animated videos, catchy songs and practice activities, kids work at their own pace through the 200 lessons. There is also a placement test to get started, so if your child is older and doesn't need to start at the beginning, the placement test will ensure they start at the right point in the program. Here are some things I love about Mathseeds : Use of visuals ...

And if it's not winter where you are, maybe you can still use these activities to dream of snow. ;) Low-Prep Winter Math Activities: >> FREE I Spy Winter Count to 10 Booklet | Grades PreK-K >> FREE Addition & Subtraction within 10 Coloring Pages | Grades K-1 >> FREE Addition to 20 Color by Number Pages | Grades 1-2 Hands On Winter Math Ideas: >> FREE Build a Snowman Place Value Practice | Grades 2-3 >> Get Outside: Snow Day Math Fun | Grades K-5 >> Explore Fractals with a Fractal Snowflake | Grades 2+ >> Explore Volume with Hot Chocolate Math | Grades 5+ ...
