Lessons tagged with "tips"

This number sense lesson focuses on solving problems involving tips. The lesson includes research-based strategies and strategic questions that prepare students for assessments. In this lesson, students read the problem, identifying the initial tip percent and the initial amount paid. Then, they convert the tip percentage to a decimal number and calculate the tip by multiplying the tip decimal and initial amount paid. Finally, they calculate the total amount paid by adding the initial amount and the tip, and then they interpret the total amount paid in a complete sentence. In addition to the lesson, there are eight pages of Independent Practice and review with questions modeled after current adaptive testing items.
