High School Mathematics

Dwight Beyer
In the high school curriculum we often talk about investments and calculating interest and the beauty of compounding.  It is normal to advance from annual compounding to monthly, daily, and even continuous compounding.  Students are very involved when money is the topic so through financial literacy, which is obviously a needed topic for every student, much math gets taught as well.  I am looking for new ideas to incorporate into the curriculum.

Previously I taught a consumer math class and it was one of the most enjoyable and useful classes that was offered in the entire math program.
