Math 6 Personal Finance Project

In case some of you are confused as to what needs to happen for your personal finance project, check out this brief guide:

1. Complete the paper worksheet.

2. Complete the worksheet in Google Docs.

3. Make your presentation:

• Your presentation should be on one A4 sheet of paper.You may include any information or graphs that you want that will persuade your clients; however the following questions should guide your thinking:
• What is interest? 
• What is compound interest?
• What are the benefits of investing in an account that earns interest rather than sticking it in a box under the bed? 
• Your presentation should be easy for your clients to understand
• Use data from your investigations in Scenarios 1 & 2 as proof in your presentation.
• (These guidelines are also included at the bottom of your Google Docs worksheet)

4. Present the project to your parents and write a blog post about it. Your blog post should include...

• A picture of you presenting to your parents
• A link to your Google Docs worksheet and your presentation
• Thoughtful answers to the following questions (complete sentences, well-written with supporting details):
• What did you already know?
• What did you learn? (from the project? from your parents?)
• How might this affect what you do in the future?
• What was your favorite part about the project? Least favorite part?
