Holiday Madness & Skunk!

Today we shared our answers for part 3 of Holiday Madness. Students found that using a program like Excel, as I showed students in Extended Day, was very helpful in doing the calculations. They also found that paying back twice as much per month reduced the time it took to pay back the money by almost 3/4, demonstrating how important it is to pay as much as possible towards credit card bills to avoid high interest payments. Most students said they were wary of credit cards now.

We also played a fun probability game called Skunk. The rules are simple and it would be a fun game to play with family and friends over the holiday. Class notes with the rules are here.

Homework over the break will be the Stretching & Shrinking Unit Project, due Tuesday, January 19.

Have a wonderful holiday!
