List 2-3 key points or skills that students should be able to know or do by the end of your 5 minute mini-lesson:

"Percent" means "out of 100" so 47% is the same as 47/100 or "47 out of 100".



To convert a decimal to a percent, represent it as a fraction first. When the denominator is 100, then it’s “out of

Plan Your Lesson

What materials will you need to prepare ahead of time?

I will prepare a chart to be filled in as we convert fractions, decimals and percents. The chart will have a decimal filled in

Good job! That’s going to come in handy today. We are going to be converting decimals to

percent and percent to decimals.

One thing that’s going to help us figure out how to convert between decimals and percent is

one simple fact – the word “percent” actually means “out of 100”.

Using that fact and what we learned yesterday about how to read decimals, we will be able to

do these conversions!
