Course description

Algebra†Financial†focuses on real-world financial literacy; personal finance; and business subjects. Students apply what they learned in Algebra 1 and Geometry to topics including personal income; taxes; checking and savings accounts; credit; loans and payments; car leasing and purchasing; home mortgages; stocks; insurance; and retirement planning.††

The course is designed to develop a strong foundation in logical thinking and problem solving that will enable students to make informed decisions regarding matters of money and finance in their daily lives.

†Students then extend their investigations using more advanced mathematics; such as systems of equations (when studying cost and profit issues) and exponential functions (when calculating interest problems).
