Introduction

Do the Math 100% is a problem solving unit involving percentages. Although written for use with eighth grade students, due to the various ability levels within all classrooms the material may be appropriate for other grades as well. The real world word problems will explore a variety of uses of percent. The design and analysis of the word problems are to enhance Mathematical-thinking skills and develop Mathematical problem solving skills. Both of these skills are important to the students’ capability in taking the high school Connecticut Academic Performance Test (CAPT).
