One of the bonuses of our new math curriculum is that it includes a whole section on Financial Literacy. This is NEW! So far, students have learned about debt, credit and taxes in Canada. We have discussed and explored budgets, and brainstormed what can happen if a budget is not balanced. We've also learned how to calculate sales tax (HST). This has given us a great review of percents, fractions and decimals. 13% = 13/100 = 0.13 We have been practising calculating tax a lot this week (we've learned two different strategies to do this, and students can choose to use the one they like the best). Want to help at home? Review rounding decimals to the closest hundredth! Ex. $45.3763 = $45.38
