Common mistakes on percent word problems problems
Ask students to simplify at the end of every problem; leaving unsimplified answers is the most common reason a correct method loses marks.
When accuracy is high but the page takes a long time, keep the difficulty and shorten the sheet; fluency comes from frequent short practice rather than from longer worksheets.
