Ways to Improve/Maintain MTN AND Percentage Change

Review of Test 3 was conducted today along with "Ways to Improve/Maintain MTN."   I encourage students to use their notes for taking a test. However, when notes are incomplete or difficult to read/follow, using notes often times becomes a moot point. After reviewing the correct methods and answers for the recent test, we reviewed how to have a usable MTN.

The retake for Test 3 is tomorrow, Tuesday, 11/25/14.

These notes must be written in your MTN.

Make sure your TOC is up -to-date. Also check to be sure that you have copied the EXAMPLES and DEFINITION to Multiplicative Property of Zero on the Chart for "Other Properties" in your MTN.

Homework for Tonight:

PERCENTAGE CHANGE -- INCREASE OR DECREASE

 Notes were given for a science connection (Eggsperiment), which students copied in both MTN and ISN.

INCREASE:

1. Work out the difference (increase) between the 2 numbers you are comparing.

     New # - Original #   =   Increase

2. Divide the Increase # by the Original # and multiply the answer by 100.

3. If your answer is a negative number, then this is a percentage decrease.

DECREASE:

1. Work out the difference (decrease) between the 2 numbers you are comparing.

     Orginal # - New #   =   Decrease

2. Divide the Decrease # by the Original # and multiply the answer by 100.

3. If your answer is a negative number, then this is a percentage increase.
