Real-Life Math! Arithm and Geom Sequence Plus Series+Compound Interest Bundle
by DanielStudents are alive and paying attention when any discussion on money is involved.
These tasks tie together many units into one - Arithmetic Sequences and Series, Geometric Sequences and Series as well as Compound Interest and Financial Math.
In these tasks, (with complete answer keys), students get to practice their skills on all Sequences and Series. They then discover that we can use the same formula that is used to calculate the sum of a geometric series for the future value of an annuity. It is here that the real-life application of this section of mathematics comes to life.
This skill is a life skill that shows the real-life application of the topic of sequences and series in the financial world.
Arithmetic Sequences, Arithmetic Series, Geometric Sequences, Geometric Series, Compound Interest, Future Value, Present Value, Annuities, Mortgage Repayments, Investments.
This task covers all the important topics in arithmetic sequences and series. The task contains all needed formulas.
Recurring formula, Explicit formula, first term a, constant difference d, Term n in the sequence, the sum of n terms of an arithmetic sequence.
This task covers the topic of Geometric Sequences and Series and makes the very important real-life link to Financial mathematics, compound interest, investments, present value, future value, annuities, mortgage payments, the value of single payments (investments) over time, the value of recurring payments (investments) over time.
Arithmetic Sequences, Sum of Arithmetic Series, Geometric Sequences, Sum of Geometric Series, Sigma-notation, Investments, Compound Interest, Annuities, Future Value, Present Value, Recurring Formula, Explicit Formula, constant difference, constant ratio, first term, n-th term, sum of n terms.

Real-Life Math fun! Geometric Series, Compound Interest and Financial Maths II
By Daniel
With this fun activity, students learn valuable real-Life Math lessons.
In this task, (with answer key), students invest $50 at the start of every month and then calculate the value of each $50 at the end of that year. The future value of an annuity like this $50 monthly investment is the real-life application of the sum of a geometric series.
Recurring investments (annuities) is a geometric series. The formula for the sum of a geometric series is therefore also the formula for the future value of an annuity. When students realize this, they never need to try to memorize two formulas. They also make the connection between the 2 sections of mathematics and realize that it is fact the same mathematics.

Real-Life Math Fun! Sequences and Series: Geometric Series, Daily Comp Interest
By Daniel
Talk about money and all children listen! That is why this activity is an absolute must, as it will show them the real-Life connection to Money.
Where mathematics meets the real world. This task card ties together two units into one - Geometric Series and the real-life application of Daily Compound Interest. In this task card, students experience how investing into an annuity is the same as a geometric series. They see that we can use the same formula that is used to calculate the sum of a geometric series for the future value of an annuity.
This skill is a life long skill that shows the real-life application of the topic of sequences and series in the financial world. Students can also apply this knowledge to make calculations on mortgage and car payments.

Real-Life Math fun activity/resource! Geometric Sequences and Series task + Key
By Daniel
It is always a very good time to do (or review) this important piece of Math. It will set the tone for the rest of the year if they know this well!
This task, (and its complete answer key), covers the topic of Geometric Sequences and Series. Students will learn how to
- Use the equation for a geometric sequence to determine the n-th term
- Use the equation for a geometric series to determine the sum of n terms
- Write down the explicit formula for a given geometric sequence
The task can be used as an end-of-unit assessment in the form of a class test or take-home assignment.

Real-Life Math fun! Geometric Series, Compound Interest, Financial Maths I
By Daniel
This practical Real-Life Math exercise is perfect, as it shows students the real-World connection!
This fill-in tasks lets students calculate the future value of a $100 investment at the start of every month for one year. The future value of such an annuity of $100 is the real-life application of the sum of a geometric series. Compound Interest is the Real-Life application of Geometric Series.
Recurring investments (annuities) is a geometric series. The formula for the sum of a geometric series is therefore also the formula for the future value of an annuity. When students realize this, they never need to try to memorize two formulas. They also make the connection between the 2 sections of mathematics and realize that it is fact the same mathematics.
