Item description
This worksheet ties together two units into one – Geometric Series and the real-life situation of Monthly Compound Interest. In this worksheet, 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 skill that shows the real-life application of the topic of sequences and series in the financial world. Students can also apply this knowledge in calculating all the variables involved in mortgage and car payments.
