Today we will be working on 6.RP.3.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. 
 We will introduce and practice this standard in class.  The students will have an IXL assignment of the following:
Consumer math: Which is the better coupon? (Sixth grade - G.1)
Consumer math: Unit prices: which is the better buy? (Sixth grade - G.2)

Today we will be working with customary unit conversions and unit prices. 


Students should be practicing G.4 on their IXL.

• Consumer math: Unit prices with customary unit conversions (Sixth grade - G.4)

• Consumer math: Unit prices with fractions and decimals (Sixth grade - G.3)

I will be giving the students a customary unit table with units involving length, weight, and capacity.  They will want to get to know these units as best as possible.
