Recreating the Concept Diagram re:
Percents went fairly well. One class did
get hung up on the ‘cent’ part of percent and gave a lot of examples for that
but we were able to move past it eventually.
Another class could not generate ‘Never Present’ so we saved that for
the end. By doing that, students were
able to clearly name the ‘Never Present’ examples quickly and easily. We will keep this mind for future
Diagrams. We really liked what an eye
opener it was for some students when we referred back to this Diagrams at the
end of the Percent unit. Some were able
to make better connections when a number has a percent sign and when it does
not.
