Students will practice solving problems with the compound interest formula as they rotate through 10 stations with this “Math Lib” Activity. There are more challenging problems included that will require students to read carefully, analyze more than one situation, and complete more than one step in order to solve the problem. The answer at each station will give them a piece to a story (who, doing what, with who, where, when, etc.).
This is a much more fun approach to multiple choice, and the students adore reading the story to the class. They get very excited to see which of their teachers is the “star” of the story.
Edit all story elements!
All slides are given in an editable format so you are free to personalize the story for your students. PowerPoint is required to edit. Only story elements can be changed, not the actual problems.
