Sale Attack

percents · discounts and final cost

To solve problems involving finding the whole, given a part and the percent.

Sale Attack is a Grade 6 percent game built around prices and discounts. A card adjusts the starting $100 price up or down, then the player chooses whether the die value will be used as a fixed discount or as a percent discount before calculating the final cost. Each turn requires students to record the initial price, discount, discount value, and amount paid.

Use it in a small group when students are applying percents to money and comparing different kinds of discounts. The choice between a fixed-value and percent discount creates useful discussion about which option is more favorable at different prices.
