Posing Percent Problems (Old)

Students apply what they've learned about increasing and decreasing by a percentage to generate and answer questions about the society in which we live. This is a digital lesson that includes an activity where students create a visual display. Provide students with the Supplement to use on Screens 2–3. NOTE: This lesson is outdated and will be retired. The new and improved Posing Percent Problems can be found in the curriculum.
