Lesson Outline

Introduction (5 minutes)

1. Engage the Students:

   • Ask: "When have you used decimals and percents in your everyday life?"
   • Lead a brief discussion on real-world applications (shopping discounts, percentages in sales, etc.).

2. State the Objective:

   • Explain that today’s lesson will focus on how to convert between decimals and percents and solve related problems.

Direct Instruction (10 minutes)

1. Definitions:

   • Decimal: A number that represents a part of a whole.
   • Percent: A fraction out of 100, symbolized by the % sign.

2. Conversion Method:

   • Decimal to Percent: Multiply by 100.
   • Percent to Decimal: Divide by 100.

3. Examples:

   • Convert 0.75 to percent:
     • ( 0.75 \times 100 = 75\% )
   • Convert 45% to decimal:
     • ( 45\% \div 100 = 0.45 )

Guided Practice (10 minutes)

1. Group Conversion Activity:

   • Divide students into small groups.
   • Give them the following conversions to work on together:
     1. Convert 0.6 to percent.
     2. Convert 32% to decimal.
     3. Convert 1.25 to percent.
     4. Convert 5% to decimal.

2. Review Answers:

   • Discuss the answers as a class:
     1. 60%
     2. 0.32
     3. 125%
     4. 0.05

Independent Practice (5 minutes)

1. Individual Worksheet:

   • Hand out a worksheet with more conversion problems and real-world scenarios where students need to apply their knowledge.

   Worksheet Problems:

   1. A shirt originally priced at $40 is on sale for $30. What is the percent discount?
   2. Convert 0.85 to percent.
   3. You scored 18 out of 20 on a test. What percent did you get?
   4. Convert 120% to decimal.

Conclusion (5 minutes)

1. Summarize the Lesson:

   • Reinforce the key points: how to convert decimals to percents and the applications of these conversions in everyday life.

2. Prepare for Homework:

   • Explain homework assignment and ensure students understand expectations.

Homework Assignment

Please complete the following tasks at home:

1. Convert the following decimals to percents:

   • a) 0.45
   • b) 0.3
   • c) 1.2

2. Convert the following percents to decimals:

   • a) 25%
   • b) 150%
   • c) 5%

3. Problem Solving:

   • A test has 50 questions. If you answered 37 correctly, what percent did you score?

Homework Answers

1. Decimal to Percent:

   • a) ( 0.45 \times 100 = 45\% )
   • b) ( 0.3 \times 100 = 30\% )
   • c) ( 1.2 \times 100 = 120\% )

2. Percent to Decimal:

   • a) ( 25\% \div 100 = 0.25 )
   • b) ( 150\% \div 100 = 1.5 )
   • c) ( 5\% \div 100 = 0.05 )

3. Problem Solving:

   • To find the percent score: ( \frac{37}{50} \times 100 = 74\% )

By following this lesson plan, students will gain skills in converting decimals to percents and vice versa, ultimately strengthening their understanding of these important mathematical concepts.
