Lesson Description:
This lesson is the seventh of nine lessons from the Vocational Math: Contextualized for Construction course that was taught at Madison Area Technical College. During this lesson, students work in groups followed by whole-class discussion to solve percent problems involving discounts, markup and margin in the context of purchasing materials for installing a floor, and charging a customer for the installation. This lesson uses the context of Problem Situation 1 in Lesson 1 for the quantities to purchase.
The expected total time for the lesson is 115 minutes. Students will need a Construction Master Calculator and Lesson 1 notes to complete this lesson. Related resources are available to view separately. Related resources include the Vocational Math Syllabus, Lesson 1, a 2018 National Construction Estimator, and a document on the Think Aloud teaching method.
