Motivation:
Showing a paper clips. Where do we used these
paper clips? Opener:
Problem
Rafaela has 10 paper clips. She
gives 2 paper clips to her seatmate
and keeps
the rest for the future use. Is it
right for her to say that she keeps
 Questions to answer:
1. Who has 10 paper clips?
2. To whom does she give 2 paper clips?

3. if you were Rafaela will you also

keep materials for the future? Why?
Present the table:

 Let the pupils identify rate, base and
percentage
The rate is the percent of the whole. It has
the percent symbol (%).
The base is the whole we’re talking about. It
is written after the word “of” or the phrase
“percent of”
The percentage is the portion of the whole
based on the rate. It is usually followed
by the word “is”.
Using the Techan’s Triangle, ask them to determine the rate,
base, and percentage

P 2
R B 20% 1
If you were Rafaela will you also keep materials for the future?
 A.Let the pupils work in pair. Each
pair works on every station
simultaneously. Each of them will
check their answers and present
their output.
 Station 1: 5 is what percent of 50
What is the rate? ______
Station 2: 40% of 60 is what?
What is the percentage? _______
Station 3: 16 is 25% of 64
The base is ________
Station 4: 15% of total sales is P 8
910.
The rate is _________
Station 5: 43% of 150 is 64.5
Let the class the class check their answers by pairs and present their outputs one at a
time. After all pairs have presented, ask “What is the meaning of percentage? Rate?
Base? How will you determine the base in a given problem? The rate?and the
Percentage?
Say: The percentage is the portion of the whole based on the rate. It is usually followed
By the word “is”. The rate is the percent of the whole. It has the percent symbol (%).

The base is the whole we are talking about. It is

written after the word “of” or the phrase “percent of”.
