Image result for BE AWESOME


DEAR FALCONS,

YOU HAVE BEEN WORKING HARD AND I AM VERY PROUD OF EACH AND EVERYONE OF YOU.  REMEMBER THAT HARD WORK PAYS OFF!

THIS WEEK WE WILL BE WORKING AND CONVERTING  FRACTIONS, DECIMALS, AND PERCENTS INTO EQUIVALENT FORMS. YOU ALREADY KNOW THE FRACTIONS AND DECIMALS PORTION BUT WILL BEGIN WORKING WITH PERCENTS IN DETAIL.  REMEMBER TO STAY ALERT IN CLASS SO THAT YOU DON'T STAY BEHIND. 

I AM ALSO VERY PROUD OF EVERYONE WHO HAS BEEN WORKING VERY HARD AT THEIR, "MY CLASSROOM ECONOMY" JOBS.  YOU HAD YOUR FIRST PAYDAY ON FRIDAY AND I HOPE YOU KNOW HOW TO USE YOUR MONEY WISELY BECAUSE RENT IS DUE PRETTY SOON. REMEMBER TO KEEP YOUR BANK LOGS BALANCED AND KEEP YOUR MONEY IN YOUR YELLOW ENVELOPES I GAVE YOU.  BEING AN ADULT IS TOUGH LIKE SOME OF YOU SAID BUT I PROMISE YOU YOU WILL BE FINE! :) JUST CONTINUE TO WORK HARD! 


HERE ARE SOME TIPS FOR THE UPCOMING LESSON!

Decimals, Fractions and Percentages are just different ways of showing the same value:
A Half can be written...
As a fraction:
1/2
As a decimal:
0.5
As a percentage:
50%

A Quarter can be written...
As a fraction:
1/4
As a decimal:
0.25
As a percentage:
25%
Here, have a play with it yourself:

Conversions


From Percent to Decimal

To convert from percent to decimal: divide by 100, and remove the "%" sign.
The easiest way to divide by 100 is to move the decimal point 2 places to the left:

From Decimal to Percent

To convert from decimal to percent: multiply by 100, and add a "%" sign.
The easiest way to multiply by 100 is to move the decimal point 2 places to the right:

From Fraction to Decimal

The easiest way to convert a fraction to a decimal is to divide the top number by the bottom number (divide the numerator by the denominator in mathematical language)

Example: Convert 2/5 to a decimal

Divide 2 by 5: 2 ÷ 5 = 0.4
Answer: 2/5 = 0.4
