The 10% Shortcut

Today after our blast-from-the-past warm up, we learned about the 10% shortcut. (Simply, that you can find 10% of a number by moving the decimal once to the left.) We then used this awesome shortcut to find some discounts on problems. You can see the problems that they started in class and will need to finish for homework by clicking here. They only need to do #s 1-5 and the answers for those are available here.

We've had lots of kids in and out this week and I want to remind them and parents that class docs (look over on the right of this page for Class Docs) is where I post all assignments, notes, homework, etc. if I don't put a link directly to it in the blog post. Enjoy!
