Teaching tips & learning objectives
Learning objectives
Convert a decimal to a fraction and a fraction to a decimal using a place-value chart or division.
Convert a percent to a fraction and a fraction to a percent.
Use a percent proportion to find an unknown part, whole, or percent.
Teaching tips
Print the notes as full pages or two-per-page for interactive notebooks, as the file's own 'How to Use' page suggests.
Use the completed answer-key version (pages 22-38) as a projected teacher copy while students fill in their own blank version.
Work through the Percent Proportions lesson's diagram (part/whole = percent/100) before assigning that lesson's practice, since later practice problems reuse the same proportion setup.
Skills covered
Decimal-fraction conversion — students use a place-value chart or long division to convert between decimals and fractions.
Percent-fraction and percent-decimal conversion — students move between all three representations of the same value.
Percent of a number — students calculate a percent of a given quantity.
Good to know
Questions teachers ask about this resource
How does the Percent Proportions lesson set up a problem like '15 is 30% of what number'?
Students fill in a part/whole = percent/100 proportion (15/whole = 30/100), cross-multiply, and solve for the unknown whole, which works out to 50.
How does each lesson introduce its objective?
Each lesson opens with an 'I can' statement describing the skill being taught, such as 'I can use a percent proportion to solve percent problems,' before moving into worked examples and a practice section.

Standards, concepts & topics
Standards
- 6.RP.A.3 — Use ratio and rate reasoning to solve real-world and mathematical problems, e.g., by reasoning about tables of equivalent ratios, tape diagrams, double number line diagrams, or equations. a. Make tables of equivalent ratios relating quantities with whole-number measurements, find missing values in the tables, and plot the pairs of values on the coordinate plane. Use tables to compare ratios. b. Solve unit rate problems including those involving unit pricing and constant speed. For example, if it took 7 hours to mow 4 lawns, then at that rate, how many lawns could be mowed in 35 hours? At what rate were lawns being mowed? c. Find a percent of a quantity as a rate per 100 (e.g., 30% of a quantity means 30/100 times the quantity); solve problems involving finding the whole, given a part and the percent. d. Use ratio reasoning to convert measurement units; manipulate and transform units appropriately when multiplying or dividing quantities.
