Unpacked Content

Knowledge

Students know:
  • how to approach and solve real-world financial problems using mathematical models.

Skills

Students are able to:
  • Read a real-world financial problem and distinguish between relevant and non-relevant information.
  • Create and apply a mathematical model to solve a real-world financial problem.
  • Analyze their work and their findings.
  • note restrictions or limits that arise when using a mathematical model.
  • Share their findings with others.
  • Apply their work to similar situations.
