      This week we are learning how to calculate a % of a quantity.  We can do this two ways:
      - Finding 10% then adjusting eg. 10% of $600 is $60, therefore 30% would be $60 x 3 = $ 180 
      - Or, converting the % to a decimal, then multiplying the quantity by the decimal. eg. $600 x 0.3 = $180


      Whakataukī: “He waka eke noa!”
      Metaphorical: A waka we are all in together. We rise together, fall together, work together and keep going together!
      Literal: Working in unity and leaving no-one behind.

      Authentic Outcomes:  Matariki, Stardome Observatory and Camp Adair.

      Success Criteria:  I can...
      • Write fractions as decimals, and vice versa
      • Write fractions as %'s, and vice versa
      • Calculate a % of a quantity
      • Recall my basic + , - , x and ➗ facts
