M(N&O)–7–1 Demonstrates conceptual understanding of rational numbers with respect to percents as a means of comparing the same or different parts of the whole when the wholes vary in magnitude (e.g., 8 girls in a classroom of 16 students compared to 8 girls in a classroom of 20 students, or 20% of 400 compared to 50% of 100); and percents as a way of expressing multiples of a number (e.g., 200% of 50) using models, explanations, or other representations.

Students will create a survey. Students will distribute the survey and collect them for analysis. Using the survey data the students will show their knowledge of percents. Students will also make a circle graphs to demonstate how a circle graph can be used to visually present their results. The final project will be for the students to write a newspaper article informing other students about their survey and its results. Each article must contain a graph, the survey results and be visually pleasing.
