Attention Parents: In all classes we are discussing ratios, rates and unit rates. We just finished finding percent of a number involving tax, tip and discounts in MJ1 Advanced (A day students) and we will begin percents in MJ2 Advanced (B day students) The following real life experiences will help the math become real for my students, so please discuss with your child the following while going about your day and running errands. It will definitely help!
While shopping please discuss with your child discounts, tax and tip. Have your child estimate how much the tip will be at dinner, how much a piece of clothing will cost with the percent off, and how much your total bill will be after tax. Let them look at the receipt, so they see how the total came to be.
Also, at the grocery store, talk about the unit price and comparison shopping. This will make math real for them.
I know many of us use our bank cards to pay for items, but try to pay with cash sometimes and have your child listen, watch and learn when you are shopping. This will help tremendously with their understanding. Thank you for your support!!
