I have used this with my Personal Financial Mathematics classes for several years. Students search online for a credit card, then they must look at the terms and conditions of the credit card and answer the questions. It has helped my students realize that credit cards have pitfalls and starts the discussion of how to use credit cards responsibly. Created by Function Junction.

I created and used this in my Personal Financial Math classes after we completed many worksheets that had students calculating interest based on 8% (and sometimes higher) interest rates. I had a student comment that they thought they could make that kind of money just from interest, so I had to give my students a "wake-up call." I created this search where students find current rates so they can see what they are actually earning. Created by Function Junction

In my financial math classes, I find current event articles related to our current units. However, in the Investment Unit, I require them to find one and review it. I give several websites for them to find articles, read and review them. This worksheet leads them through the process. Created by Function Junction.

This worksheet created by function junction, has students research the terms associated with leasing a vehicle. It also has students compare monthly payments to buy the vehicle.
