I have a new Activity packet for You!

Are you trying to teach your kids percents? I hated teaching percents until recently…
Solving Percent Worksheets
I do not know about you, but I would always get confused:

  • Which way do I set up the problem if I know the percent?
  • OK, but what if I am looking for the percent?

Ahhh! That’s right.
 I would scream, “Ahhh!” (In my head)

Last week I had a wonderful  teacher friend explain solving percent problems  to me in less than 2 minutes. No, I am not that smart. Her way is THAT easy!

Her way is a “One size fits all” solution to these math problems.

Problems like:

  • what is 20% of 100
  • 20 is what percent of 350
  • 5 is 15% of what number

All became easy to solve!!!!

I made a quick YouTube video to explain it to you and explain it again to myself so I wouldn’t forget.

I just completed a packet that will help you reinforce this cool concept with your kids. (Yes, I am an 80’s kid. I said “cool”)

Here is the video I made. Be sure to scroll to the bottom and check out the packet. The first one to comment on this post wins a free copy:).
