Investing Fundamentals & Compound Interest Practice Pack

Complete Set: Compound Interest Practice Pack. With this no-preparation, complete unit, you’ll transform your students’ passive consumption of investments into sound capital allocation.

Looking for something more than just a “piggy bank” way to teach your students about finances? The curriculum is designed specifically to teach students how and why they can create wealth through investing. It breaks down stocks and stock markets into simple components, demonstrates how inflation erodes purchasing power without anyone being aware, and mathematically proves the power of compounding through real-life practice examples.

Students will develop a firm understanding of investing based upon the learning experiences included in this program, which can be used for multiple subject areas including Math, Economics, Personal Finance, and Life Skills. This is an excellent resource for several weeks of instruction on investment literacy as it provides all of the necessary ingredients (theory, practice, and case studies) to achieve successful learning outcomes.
