Elaborations
- • Elaboration recognising applications of percentages used in everyday contexts; for example, the bar model used for charging devices indicating the percentage of power remaining; advertising in retail contexts relating to discounts or sales
- • Elaboration creating a model by subdividing a whole; for example, using 10 x 10 grids to represent various percentage amounts and recognising complementary percentages, such as 30% and 70% combine to make 100%
- • Elaboration creating a model by subdividing a collection of materials, such as blocks or money, to connect decimals and percentage equivalents of tenths and commonly used fractions 1/2, 1/4 and 3/4; for example, one-tenth or 0.1 represents 10% and one half or 0.5 represents 50%; recognising that 60% is 10% more than 50%
- • Elaboration using physical and virtual materials to represent the relationship between decimal notation and percentages; for example, 0.3 is 3 out of every 10, which is 30 out of every 100, which is 30%)
