This course will help students become familiar with the language of finance and the mathematics
needed to manage money creating more fiscally responsible citizens. Personal money
management includes wages, banking, cash and credit cards, loans, purchasing a vehicle and
insurance. The business math segment includes everything from hiring your first employee to
managing the finances. Students will have a firm understanding of how the financial choices they
make will affect their lives and their community. We will incorporate practical applications to both
personal and business problems, simulations, lectures, and Internet research activities. Students
may take this course as a 4th year math elective.
