| Title | Taxes - Percents Activity |
| Brief description | Students calculate the flat tax, modified tax, and progressive tax needed to collect enough income. |
| Purpose | Wrap up of topic; Contextual application |
| Topic(s) | Percent applications; Solving percent problems |
| Type of activity | Student, either individual or group |
| Where work is done | In class |
| Time required | Longer |
| Technology needed | None needed (i.e. technology optional) |
| Suggestions for implementation | My first version did not include part 7, and students weren't considering discretionary income when comparing fairness, so I added it. Haven't tested this part yet. Students had a lot of difficulty with part 1, so might need some help getting started. |
