100% - But What Does THAT Mean?



The other morning, Lexi and Jordyn were comparing school papers.

Lexi said "I wonder why my teacher writes one zero, zero, seven on my papers?".
And Jordyn responded, "Mine writes one, zero, zero, one".

I was confused, so I said "what are you guys talking about?". And they showed me the papers (above in the pic) with 100% on them. Ha ha ha ha, I just laughed!

So, I explained to them what 100% meant. And that their teachers just write the percent sign a little differently. But then it made me realize.....how many kids have no idea what I'm telling them when I write that on their papers? Maybe I should talk about that at school tomorrow!
