Financial Algebra
This is a fourth year math course open to all students. In this course, you never have to ask "When we will use this?". All topics focus on the math in personal finances. We will explore checking and savings accounts, credit cards and credit scores, buying a car, employee benefits such as salary, insurance, and Social Security and Medicare, income taxes, renting and buying homes, retirement savings and preparing a budget. Students will leave this course with real-life math skills and hopefully be better prepared for life on their own!
