7.RP.A.3
Use proportional relationships to solve multistep ratio and percent problems. Examples: simple interest, tax, markups and markdowns, gratuities
and commissions, fees, percent increase and decrease, percent error.
7.RP.A.2
Recognize and represent proportional relationships between quantities.
IEP Goal:
Actual: N/A

Revised:
By December 6th, 2019 students will be able to identify what information is given and what is being solved for with 100% accuracy on 3 out of 3
trials.
By December 6th, 2019 students will be able to solve a proportion equation with 100% accuracy on 3 out of 3 trials.

Instructional Objective:
Students will understand various mathematical terms related to percentages (tax, sale price, amount off, tip, gratuity, mark down). Students will
determine what information the question gives and what information the question is asking for. Students will solve word problems using
proportions.
Lesson Agenda: Guided Worksheet #4
Step 1:
- Discuss what percent application means as a whole class. Percent’s can be applied to many everyday situations. To solve a percent
application problem, you must decode the various terms within the problem in order to understand how to solve the problem.
- Discuss each of the terms: tax, sale price, amount off, tip, gratuity, mark down. Have students volunteer to give a definition of each term.
- Students will label each term as increase or decrease.
- Discuss the phrase & fill in missing blanks as a whole class. “The key to solving percent problems in real life is understanding what
information you are ______ and what you are _______ for. (given & solving).
Step 2:
- Solve the following 3 problems as a whole class using the advanced organizer (below). Determine what information is given and what is
being solved for.
- Ask students to volunteer to answer what we know (information given) and what we need to know (what is being solved for). Model filling
these sections of the organizer out on the board.
- Model the first problem’s “plan and solve” together on the board. Ask for student involvement.
- Model writing the solution after solving in the organizer.
- Repeat for problems 2 and 3, allow students to fill in the organizer on the board if they are comfortable. Pass out tickets for students who
participate.
Step 3:
- Completed #4 of “Anderson’s Art Supply” as a whole group model. Model the equation 15/100 = x/50.62. Explain your thought process and
 how you found the equation. Ask students to find the solution using their calculator. Allow a student to write the solution on the board.
- Have students complete “Anderson’s Art Supply Store” in partners, numbers 5-8.
- Encourage students to use the organizer when they need support.
Step 4:
- Students will use their understanding of percentages to complete the table on page 3.
- Model #1 on the smart board as an example. Have a student volunteer to read the word problem. Model what the proportion
(70/100=57.75/x) looks like on the board. Show your work and find the solution on the board. Explain your thought process out loud for
students to follow.
- Have students complete #2-4 as independent practice. Remind them to use their organizer as support.
- Come back together after work time and solve #5 as a whole group. Allow students to volunteer to read the problem. Show the work on the
smart board and how to find the solution. Allow students to volunteer to come up and show their work.
Error Correction procedures
- Remind students of the organizer when they identify part of the problem incorrectly. Have them slow down and label the problem using the
organizer.
- Ensure students are using a calculator when solving equations.
- Pass out tickets for students who are actively solving on their calculator and sharing out loud.
Daily Evaluation: (Assessment; pre & during)
- Pre: Review percent, tax, sale price, amount off, trip, gratuity, and mark down. Check for student response.
- During: check for student oral responses, check for completed worksheet pages as your move through the lesson.
Progress Monitoring: (Assessment; post)
- Use the third page to monitor progress based on student work and answers. Use the 5 problems on the page to assess student understanding
and make instructional changes for the next lesson. Add practice and more monitoring time for students who need more support.
