Description
Calculating simple interest is a great way to build up a student's bank of financial mathematics – testing their numeracy and literacy skills at the same time! This introductory booklet will task students with defining the variables in the simple interest formula, isolating the principal (P), rate (r) and term (t) in some practice scenarios and then applying their understanding to solve multiple word questions about investing and earning interest, or borrowing money and paying interest. The gradual release of responsibility method is used to ensure students are sufficiently scaffolded at the beginning to work through the booklet individually. I love using this booklet in class - the sound of busy students learning in concentrated silence as they get a healthy dose of simple interest practice!
