Welcome back from the long weekend everybody!

We started off the class doing mental math.

Then we started learning about Personal Finance

Investing money:

-difference between Appreciate(worth more)and Depreciate(worth less).

-We discussed different ways to solve finance questions.

Ways to solve finance questions:

On the calculator:

1) APPS, enter, enter

OR

2) put in variables/exponents on the home screen

On Excel:

1)Enter variables, and drag down

OR

2) Use the "function of X"

3) If you search *Canada Financial Solver Applet*, you probably will find sites to put in values to get your answer. Feel free to put a link on the blog if you find one.
