Lesson Excerpt:
II. Percents of Change
- “Today we are going to be looking for more percentages. Only today’s percentages are what you look for when something changes. Usually an amount or a quantity changes over time. Last year, you might have made $6.00 an hour babysitting and this year you might be making $8.00 an hour. You have had a change in the amount of money that you have made. This is called “Percents of Change.”
- “Percents of Change is a fancy way of saying that there has been a change in an amount of quantity over time. It might be an increase as in the babysitting example, or it might be a decrease. When we are looking for a percent of change, we want to find what the percent of the increase or decrease was. That is what we are going to be looking for in today’s lesson.”
- “Let’s write the example that I just talked about on the board.”
