In this lesson, we will explore how to use percent proportions to solve real-life situations and make data-informed decisions. Students will conduct a class poll based on a yes/no question of their choice, gathering responses and calculating the percentage of answers received. We will cover the fundamental concept that “part is to whole as percent is to 100,” and apply this formula to obtain insights from our collected data. This hands-on practice aids in comprehending the relevance of percent proportions in everyday contexts.
