              Finding the Original Amount – Percentage Changes

              Students learn how to calculate the original amount after a simple percentage change.  Learning progresses from using a visual method to solving real life problems using written methods.The start of the lesson recaps calculating a simple percentage increase and increase using multipliers.  In the plenary students are challenged to use reverse percentages to find the original amount after a discount.
              Differentiated Learning Objectives
              • All students should be able to calculate the original amount after a percentage increase.
              • Most students should be able to calculate the original amount after a percentage change.
              • Some students should be able to calculate the original amount after a repeated percentage change.
