Percents

We have been reviewing Algebra concepts this month. One in particular that students always seem to have trouble with are percents. We took a trip to a restaurant where students had to figure out what their bill would be when you added a 15% tip. They complained about the extra money but realized it was important to pay a tip and how you have to figure out how much you should pay. It was a great real life experience. As I always say, Math is everywhere.
