Use the following list of percents: 20%, 25%, 75%, and 80%. Each group writes a story that involves some of their classmates and uses the four percents listed above. You may collect data from the class, such as how many students have pets, or make observations, such as how many students have blue eyes. Make sure that your story makes sense. In your final draft of the story, include pictures and graphs to illustrate your findings.

Discuss your stories as a class. Which stories were the most interesting? Why?
