Model 25% on a 4x3 grid.
1.) Start by figuring out what the 4x3 grid would look like. In this grid, we have 12 boxes (4 x 3 = 12).
2.) Now let's calculate 25% of 12. When changing a percent to a decimal, simply move the decimal point over to the left two places. So then 25% = .25 when written as a decimal. Multiply 25 x 12. 25% of 12 equals 3.
3.) Now your grid would have 3 boxes shaded in. I put two examples of this in the attached image. However, your boxes can be shaded in anywhere in the grid, as long as only 3 of them are shaded in!
