question
Exactly! $39
Furthermore, you get extra 10% discount
because youre a student, how much money
do you need to pay ?
$35.1 ! well done can you explain to me why
did you get the answer?
Teacher always ask why when student answer the
question and encourage the class to come up with the
formula.
what is $78 what should we do with 50%
when we see discount do you we need to pay
more or less money
Is the money we have to pay increasing or
decreasing?
Lets student discuss with each other, observe
student response and walk around to see if
they have a right formula or not.
What do you thinking about the amount of
money we need I pay is less than the old
amount so is this formula for decreasing or
increasing.
New amount = old amount decrease amount
Asking student if they have any question at this
problem. Encourage them to try the new formula.
Convert 50% into fraction or decimal number.
Decrease amount = 0.5 x 78= 39
New amount = 78 -39 =39
No lets student do by themselves when they get 10%
discount. Walk around checking on student working out,
make sure they understand the concept. Note down
student who are having difficulties with the topic.
