Goals and Habits
Gathering Purposes
• Discuss the BYU-Pathway Worldwide devotional
• Practice setting top level and lower level goals
Physical Preparation
• Prepare the room for groups:
o For face-to-face Gatherings, arrive early to setup the room, prepare any visual aids, and greet
students as they arrive.
o For virtual Gatherings, start the meeting early, share your screen with a message welcoming
them to the gathering and letting them know you’ll start soon.
When the Gathering Agenda asks that students meet in small groups, use Breakout
Rooms.
When the Gathering Agenda asks you to display things on “the board,” you use the
whiteboard.

these steps. physically gathering.
First find the new price of the shirt on sale = 60 -
(60 x 5/100) = 60 - 3 = 57 Invite the class to
Next we must calculate the tax on this new price. take five minutes to

57 + 2.85 = 59.85 answers and/or ask
The equation for this is $60 x (1-5/100) x questions.
(1+5/100) = $60 x 0.95 x 1.05 = $59.85. You will
learn more about equations like this in future
weeks. For now you can follow the steps outlined Reveal the correct
above. answer to the class
2. One of your friends told you that if a $60 item is
on sale for 5% off and there is a 5% sales tax that
you do not need to do any calculations—the final
cost after tax will be $60. How would you respond
to this friend?
Answer: $59.85 is close to $60 but is not exactly
the same. In order to know the exact amount you
will need to do the calculations.
Ask the class if they have any remaining questions.
