Good morning Grade 9s
Today we are going to be calculating percent from fractions and decimals. We will also be able to estimate percentage in word problems.
There will be a board note and then pg. 28-33 #1,2,3,4,6a,c,f,g,h,7,9,10,12
Additional challenge: (For those of you checking the blog)
Currently there are 33,441,277 residents in Canada. Most recent statistic on StatCan.gc.ca is an unemployment rate of 7.2%. How many people are currently unemployed?
Similarly, there are 4,385,800 youth aged 15-24. There are 2,525,600 employed. What percentage of youths are employed in Canada?
(This math is VERY practical)
