Teaching the Lesson materials
Key ActivitiesStudents tabulate the results from the trivia survey distributed in Lesson 9-1. For each survey question, they write a fraction to express the number of Yes answers as a part of the total number of answers. Then they convert each fraction to a percent.
Key Concepts and Skills• Use a calculator to convert fractions to percents.
[Number and Numeration Goal 5]• Compare fractions with unlike denominators.
[Number and Numeration Goal 6]• Create a table and tally chart.
[Data and Chance Goal 1]• Analyze survey results and make predictions based on collected data.
[Data and Chance Goal 2]
Ongoing Learning & Practice materialsStudents take a 50-facts test. They use a line graph to record individual and class scores.Then students find the median and calculate the mean of the class scores.
Students practice and maintain skills through Math Boxes and Study Link activities.

Objectives To guide the organization and tabulation of survey
data; and to introduce the use of percents to compare quantities
expressed as fractions with unlike denominators.
� Math Message Follow-UpGo over the answers. 29%, 73%, 71%, 4% Ask volunteers to showwhat they did to rename the fractions as percents. Make sure thatboth methods are presented:
� Using the percent key on a calculator
� Dividing the numerator by the denominator and multiplying by 100
Tell students that in this lesson they will rename the fractionsfrom the Trivia Survey as percents.
� Making a Prediction Based on Individual Survey Data(Math Masters, p. 280)
Have students make some rough guesses about people’s behaviorbased on their survey results. Ask: Do you think it is more likelythat a person will● read a book or go to a movie?● eat breakfast or eat at a fast-food restaurant?● like liver or like Mondays?
Take a vote and record the results on the board.

Conduct the survey below. The results will be used in Lesson 9-6.
Find at least five people to answer the following survey questions. You can ask family members, relatives, neighbors, and friends.
BE CAREFUL! You will not ask every person every question. Pay attention to the instructions that go with each question.
Record each answer with a tally mark in the Yes or No column.
Question Yes No
1. Is Monday your favorite day?(Ask everyone younger than 20.)
2. Have you gone to the movies in the last month? (Ask everyone older than 8.)
3. Did you eat breakfast today?(Ask everyone over 25.)
4. Do you keep a map in your car?(Ask everyone who owns a car.)
5. Did you eat at a fast-food restaurant yesterday?(Ask everyone.)
6. Did you read a book during the last month?(Ask everyone over 20.)
7. Are you more than 1 meter tall?(Ask everyone over 20.)
8. Do you like liver?(Ask everyone.)

� Tabulating Survey Results for the Whole Class(Math Journal 2, p. 261; Math Masters, pp. 280 and 290 )
Tell students that they will use the results of all the surveys to check their guesses. The first step is to combine the results from all the surveys. The goal is to create a chart that shows the total number of Yes and No answers to each question for the whole class.
Ask for suggestions on how to do this most efficiently. One possibility is to divide the class into small groups of four or five.For each question on the survey, have the students in each groupfind the total number of Yes answers and the total number of Noanswers for their group. Each group can then report its totals. Youor a student volunteer can add these as they are reported. Finally,record the total number of Yes and the total number of Noanswers to each question on the transparency of Math Masters,page 290.
Students copy the results in the Yes and No columns on page 261in their journals. They add the Yes and No results and record thesums in the Total column. These are the total numbers of peoplewho answered the survey questions.
Next, students record the Yes answers as a fraction of the totalnumber of answers in the �T
Yoetasl� column. If necessary, help them
complete the �TYoetasl� column for the first two rows of the chart. At
this point, the classroom chart might look as follows:
� Analyzing the Survey Results(Math Journal 2, p. 261)
Have students analyze the survey results so far. Ask: Do you think it is more likely that a person will● read a book or go to a movie?● eat breakfast or eat at a fast-food restaurant?● like liver or like Mondays?

Adjusting the Activity
Some students might argue that you need to simply compare theYes answers.
Example:
Suppose that 45 out of 50 people interviewed read a book and that57 out of 78 people saw a movie last month.● Is it correct to conclude that because more people saw a movie
than read a book, people are more likely to go to the moviesthan to read a book?
● Does the total number of people interviewed need to be takeninto account?
This discussion is crucial to understanding why percents are useful.Students should see that it is difficult to compare quantities that areexpressed as fractions with unlike denominators. Explain that thisis why we rename fractions with unlike denominators as fractionsthat have the same denominator. The denominator 100—used inpercents—is especially useful, because in our base-ten system, it iseasy to rename such fractions as decimals and percents.
Once students understand why it is helpful to rename the fractionof Yes answers as percents, have them use their calculators to fill in the % Yes column. Ask them to round the answers to thenearest whole percent. Students’ completed charts shouldresemble your classroom chart, which might look like this:
Have partners use their completed table to answer Problem 2 atthe bottom of journal page 261.
Have students combine the trivia survey data from all of the fourth-grade classes in the school. Discuss why % Yes estimates based on the combined data are more reliable than estimates based on the data collected by any single classroom.

� Comparing Estimates for the “Fraction-of” a Collection(Math Masters, p. 292)
To explore the comparison of quantities expressed as fractions with unlike denominators using a concrete model, have studentscompare estimates for the number of red trapezoids in a collection of pattern blocks.
Have students share their strategies for making comparisons.Discuss how finding nearby “easy” fractions or converting to decimalscould help them compare their estimates. Ask why estimates withdifferent denominators cannot be compared directly.
� Graphing Survey Results(Math Journal 2, p. 261; Math Masters, p. 403)
To apply students’ ability to represent data, have themgraph the results of the class survey on centimeter gridpaper (Math Masters, page 403). You might suggest thatstudents use a side-by-side (double) bar graph. For example:
