Problem Solving Task

I am learning to solve problems by using my understanding of the equivalence between percentages and fractions.

50% of 30 = 15
½ of 30 = 15

15 girls

20% of 15 = 3
⅕ of 15 = 3
15 / 5 = 3

3 = short hair girls

15 (girls) - 3 (short hair girls) = 12 (long hair girls)

Percentages and Fractions Reflection

I am learning to solve problems by using my understanding of the equivalence between percentages and fractions.
I am so proud of being able to finish the problem and get the correct answer.
It can be tricky to work out the answer.
My buddy can help me by checking my work to see if it is wrong or right.
The next step for me in my learning is to do harder questions.
