Percent Problems Task Cards Common Core 6.RP.3c


This set contains 36 cards with motivating color pictures. Students will use the pictures to solve problems with percents. They will have to find the percent, part, or whole. The set comes with answers to paste on the back if you like, an answer key, and two student recording sheets.

By using task cards, students only tackle one problem at a time. They feel a sense of accomplishment after each problem has been completed. Students are able to work at their own pace and do not have to complete all the problems.

You can use these cards individually, in pairs, and even with the whole class. They can be used as an assessment, part of a center, or with games. This also makes great emergency substitute plans.

I also have a bundle of 6 board games that work great with my cards

Common Core State Standards: 
6.RP.3c Find a percent of a quantity as a rate per 100. Solve problems involving finding the whole, given a part and the percent.

Solving Word Problems With Percents Scavenger Hunt

Click here to see this product on TPT

This is a great game to play to practice solving word problems with percents. Students do not need a calculator to solve the problems.

Every time I tell my students we are doing a math scavenger hunt they cheer. They love being able to work at their own pace. They are motivated to work through the problems because they feel that it is a game.

The teacher puts  10 question cards around the room. Once they get the answer, they will know which card to go to next. Each card also has a letter. At the end, they unscramble the letters to spell a secret word. This activity is motivating and gets students out of their seats.

The cards are made to be printed front to back on colored paper. Once you fold the cards, the answer to one card shows on the front and the question to another is inside the card. It is similar to the I have, who has, but students can work at their own pace.
Thanks,
