Solve Problems Involving Discounts, Profits, and Commissions
- Grade:
- 7
- Subject:
- Math
This number sense lesson focuses on solving problems involving discounts, profits, and commissions. The lesson includes research-based strategies and strategic questions that prepare students for assessments. In this lesson, students read the problem and identify the percent discount and original price, or percent profit and original cost, or percent commission and sale amount.

Solve Percent Problems Using Proportions
- Grade:
- 7
- Subject:
- Math
This ratios and proportional relationships lesson covers how to solve multistep percent problems using proportions. The lesson includes research-based strategies and strategic questions that prepare students for assessments. In this lesson, students determine what the question is asking, and then the corresponding percent and quantity by drawing a diagram. Then, they set up a proportion for the percent and quantity, cross multiply, and solve for the unknown quantity. Finally, they interpret the solution, identifying whether it was a percent increase (tax, tip, or markup) or a percent decrease (sale, discount, or coupon).
Represent Probability as Ratios & Percentages
- Grade:
- 7
- Subject:
- Math
This statistics, data analysis, and probability lesson focuses on representing probability as ratios and percentages. The lesson includes research-based strategies and strategic questions that prepare students for assessments. In this lesson, students read the question and identify what probability they are looking for. Then, they write the number of ways the event can occur and determine the number of total outcomes. Finally, they write the probability as a ratio and reduce, if needed, and then write it as a percentage. In addition to the lesson, there are five pages of Independent Practice and review with questions modeled after current adaptive testing items.
Solve Problems Involving Markups and Discounts
- Grade:
- 7
- Subject:
- Math
This number sense lesson focuses on solving problems involving markups and discounts. The lesson includes research-based strategies and strategic questions that prepare students for assessments.
