Percentages - Virtual Manipulative
Percentages are a way of expressing a fraction, a part of a whole, as an appropriate portion of 100. The relation is written out as the equation to the right of the Percent Gauge:
Part/Whole = Percent/100
With this virtual manipulative you may specify any two of the three quantities, "Part," "Whole," or "Percent." When you click the Compute button, the computer will calculate the remaining quantity. The percentage relationship is displayed visually in the vertical column
Circle 3 - A Virtual Manipulative
The goal of this puzzle is to put three numbers inside of each circle so that they add up to 3. Solve the puzzle by dragging the black numbers to the blank spaces. You cannot move the blue numbers. When the three numbers inside any circle add up to 3, the circle changes color.
