Welcome Parents!
• Tonight’s Goals:
– Explain the new Common Core
Standards.
– Answer questions about the Florida
Standards Assessment (FSA)
– Share sample math questions and
activities
– Share information about how teachers,
parents, and students can support
learning.
• Florida, along with 45 other states, now
have common learning standards for
grades K - 12.
• Common Core State Standards place
emphasis on critical thinking and
analysis.
• Rigorous learning goals and
expectations

Sample Problem
Sample Problem
Select All That Apply
Walter is buying a new chess set. The original price of the set is $35, and
Walter has a coupon for 12% off the original price. Walter wants to
know the price after he uses the coupon. Select the equations Walter
can use, and determine the final price of the chess set. Select all that
apply.
Walter has to pay $
for the chess set after using the coupon.
SOLUTION
Grade 7
There are four quantities
in this solution
Original price
$35
Original percent
100%
Price after the coupon
x dollars
Percent paid after the coupon
88%
x is 88% of the original price,
and $35 is 100% of the original price.
These ratios are equal to each other,
so we can write the equation below.
𝒙
𝟖𝟖%
=
$𝟑𝟓
𝟏𝟎𝟎%
We can also say that the ratio
of x to $35 is equal to the ratio
of 88% to 100%.
𝒙
$𝟑𝟓
=
𝟖𝟖%
𝟏𝟎𝟎%
This equation is not true.
𝒙
𝟏𝟎𝟎%
≠
$𝟑𝟓
𝟖𝟖%
This equation is not true.
𝒙
$𝟑𝟓
≠
𝟏𝟐%
𝟏𝟎𝟎%
To find the price with the coupon, we need to solve
one of the correct equations for x.
Let's pick one of the equations.
𝒙
𝟖𝟖%
=
$𝟑𝟓
𝟏𝟎𝟎%
We can solve this for x by multiplying both sides
by 88%.
