Making the Case for Teaching Mathematics Using Algebra-Based Financial Applications
There is an undeniable need for algebra-based, quantitative financial literacy. The goal of this session is to offer teachers a rationale and framework for creating and teaching a quantitative financial literacy high school mathematics course that is applications-oriented, technology-dependent, and suitable for students of all ability levels. Modeling finance using advanced algebra assists students in seeing the relevance of the mathematics they are learning

There is an undeniable need for algebra-based, quantitative financial literacy. The goal of this session is to offer teachers a rationale and framework for creating and teaching a quantitative financial literacy high school mathematics course that is applications-oriented, technology-dependent, and suitable for students of all ability levels. Modeling finance using advanced algebra assists students in seeing the relevance of the mathematics they are learning.
In this webinar replay, you will learn:
- Methods to introduce finance, build strength in mathematics, and assist in making that mathematics transferrable to other contexts
- How math can be explored in the contexts of discretionary expenses, banking, credit, auto ownership, employment, taxes, housing, investing, entrepreneurship, retirement, and budgeting
- What to tell students when they ask: “When are we ever going to use this?” - “Every day of your lives!”
