Percent Proportion: Identifying the Part & Whole

This activity is designed to target student difficulty with properly setting up a percent proportion when solving word problems. It is designed to model proper metacognition for students as they think through given information in a problem.

Given 6 real world problems, students describe in words what the part (is) & whole (of) represent in each situation. This information is then used to help them set up a percent proportion that can be used to solve for the unknown value.
