Business Management and Administration: Compound Interest - A Millionaire's Best Friend

Curated and Reviewed by Lesson Planet

Many math concepts are covered through this resource: percentages, decimals, ratios, exponential functions, graphing, rounding, order of operations, estimation, and solving equations. Colorful worksheets and a link to a Google search for fractals images are included. Note that the lesson plan states it is the second of five lessons in an investing unit, but the other pieces were not located on the publisher's website. The activity does, however, hold plenty of value on its own.
