We have regrouped exercises from our popular math warm-ups to produce this Snapshot of Students’ Essential Skills in PERCENTS using the capabilities of TpT’s EASEL!! This product focuses on one critical math concept, PERCENTS. You will be purchasing 10 problems (see description below), each offered as an EASEL Assessment and as an EASEL Activity. This provides you with the ability to fully customize each problem for your students or to generate similar additional problems focused on one specific math skill. The PDF document, which offers each exercise on its own individual page, also provides detailed, easy-to-understand solutions to each question.

These multiple choice problems can be used to quickly assess students’ math skills and understanding of specific concepts, providing you with the information needed to address areas of weakness and to reteach or reinforce essential skills (self-checking features provided by EASEL). These exercises can also be used to diagnose possible reasons for a student’s lack of progress in mathematics by exposing missing skills, fundamental math errors, or a lack of proficiency with the basics. This product could be used to evaluate students’ basic knowledge of percents in Grades 5 or 6 math, PreAlgebra, Algebra, or any high school math course.

This product includes the following types of problems:

Problems 1 & 2: Represent a percent as a fraction in simplest form.

Problem 3: Convert a fraction to a percent.

Problems 4 & 5: Compare values to a given percent.

Problem 6: Write a percent in an equivalent decimal form.
