FINANCIAL MATH                     Teacher: Mrs. Tonya Lamb                          

​

Prerequisite: Algebra I

 

Many students struggle to see the relevance of higher mathematics to their life. This course will be all about practical things. First, we start with a Biblical understanding of what God teaches in His word about money and possessions.  Students will participate in a classroom economy for the year, learn to keep a budget, learn about loans, interest rates, taxes, investments. There will be short introductions to statistics and economics included. Internet research with the ability to print out paperwork will be necessary for some of the homework and the student will have to do some field work, such as visiting grocery stores, to complete some of the assignments. Parental discussions with the student are highly recommended. Some of the material will be drawn from the Ramsey Foundations in Personal Finance Course. Guest speakers are planned as well.
