3. Section 2: Activity Page 3: Common Percentages Provide the learners with one strip of 100 beads (Copymaster 2). Ask, “How many beads are one the string in total?” “What has this got to do with percentages?” Percentages are out of 100 and this is a model of fractions out of 100. Pose the following problems and tell the learners to label their strip as they go: 1.What percentage is all of something? (Label 100%) 2.What percentage is nothing of something? (Label 0%) 3.What percentage is one half of something? (Label 50%) 4.Find some other percentages that you know the fractions for?

4. Section 2: Activity Page 5 Finding a percentage using place value knowledge. To find 10% is the same as dividing by 10. When we divide be 10 the number gets 10 times smaller. The digits move one place to the right, e.g. 46 ÷ 10 = 4.6 Use this method to find 10% of: Find 10% of: 80 75 136 589 Find 5% of 24 hundredstensonestenthshundredths 46 46 046 10% ÷ 10 100% 1%

7. Section 2: Activity Page 7: Practice Examples Refer to Section Three, problem examples 1 - 3, for your students to practise the ideas introduced so far. You will need to run off copies of Copymaster 4 for your students to use.

8. Section 2: Activity Page 8: Adding on GST The total price you pay for any item includes net price, mark up and GST. Net price is how much the shop pays for the item and the mark up is the profit the shop makes. These two parts add up to the shop price. GST is charged on top of the shop price at a rate of 15%. Net priceMark upGST Shop price GST 15% of shop price

9. Adding on GST GST is 15% To add on GST we can mentally workout 10% plus 5%. Look at the following example: 100% 15% 115% We can also calculate the GST inclusive price by multiplying the 200 by 1.15. 200 x 1.15 = $230 Section 2: Activity Item costs $200 GST = $30

10. Pose the following problems: Before GST is added the bottle of milk costs $4.00. How much do you pay for the milk after GST is added on? Section 2: Activity 10 % 20 % 30 % 40 % 50 % 60 % 70 % 80 % 90 % 100%0% $4.00 20c20c 40 c 10% 5%

11. Section 2: Activity Practice Examples Refer to Section Three, problem examples 4-5, for your students to practise the ideas introduced so far.
