Consumers Math
Consumers math has helped me and has answered so many of my common questions about math. This math class In all honesty I have retained so much more information than I have in any other past math class. I have never really been the best at math but this class has really turned that page for me. And I am so happy that I get to be apart of it.
In this class we have learned a lot of valuable information in this past quarter. But this particular assignment really stuck with me, This was our “Home Buying Assignment”. We watched many videos on the home-buying process, then for our assignment we created a document and had to do research. We had to find three condos the listing price for them ,the maintenance fee 20% ,down payment ,the monthly payment with a 30 year mortgage as well as how much interest you will pay in 30 years. We also had to do the same thing and we had to do research three single-family houses as well.
21st Century skills
Financial, Economic, and Business literacy
I felt that this 21st Century skill fit perfectly with this class/assignment The definition of the skill is-“ Students will demonstrate an understanding of business processes, entrepreneurial spirit, and the economic forces that drive today’s economy. They will also be prepared to make appropriate personal economic choices.” And I’ve felt that this class was the very definition of the skill, and what this class is teaching me. But more than just homebuying has fell Into the skill, during this past quarter we have learned about how to do our taxes, How to check our credit score, Applying for jobs, As well as educating us on the stock market. So this past quarter I felt like I learned a lot about the Financial economic and business Literacy literacy 21st Century Skill.
