Shop Discount

Shop Discount sets students in a virtual store where they must calculate the final sale price after a percentage discount. By working through a realistic shopping transaction, students practise the two-stage process: compute the discount amount, then subtract it from the original price.

What students practice

Shop Discount develops the real-world application of percent-of: computing a percentage reduction and applying it. Students learn that finding a discount is a two-step process (percent of a whole, then subtraction), which is the foundation for calculating tax, tips, and commission.

  1. Read the original price and the discount percentage shown in the shop.
  2. Calculate the discount amount: apply the percentage to the original price.
  3. Subtract the discount from the original price to find the sale price.
  4. Use the +/- buttons to enter the sale price, then press Check.

How to use it at home or in class

An item costs 200 with a 25% discount. Students calculate 25% of 200 = 50, then subtract: 200 - 50 = 150. The sale price is 150. Seeing the full workflow in a shopping frame makes each step purposeful.

Many students enter the discount amount itself (50) rather than the final sale price (150). The game labels the input field as sale price, directing students to complete the subtraction step that distinguishes this game from a plain percent-of calculation.

Use it for individual practice, paired work, or a short class demonstration before worksheets.

Start with the game above, then continue with written practice to reinforce the skill.

Common questions

Why does this game ask for the sale price rather than the discount amount?
Computing the full sale price requires both steps: finding the percent-of and subtracting. Stopping at the discount amount skips the subtraction stage that is needed in every real discount situation.
Which grades is Shop Discount for?
Grades 5-6, where students apply percent calculations to real-world contexts including shopping, tax, and other percentage-based adjustments.
How is Shop Discount different from Percent Bar?
Percent Bar is a visual model that shows what a percentage looks like on a fixed bar of 100 sections. Shop Discount is a two-step calculation problem set in a real context, requiring students to compute a percent-of and then apply it to find a new price.
