L10: Exponents Revisited; Loan Payments &
Savings Equations
Objectives
By the end of the gathering, students will be able to:
Practice speaking English. Getting better at the skills listed below will help all students to be more readily understood when they speak English with others.
Answering questions. There may be some in the class who are struggling and need some help. Using some time to help them overcome the issues is great. However, spending too much time on questions will take away from the activities that need group participation at the end of the lesson. If questions are too long for the gathering, be sure to remind everyone that tutoring is instantly available at byui.edu/mathhelp, and that they can get a personal tutor to meet with them if they would like.
Negative Exponents. Negative Exponents mean to move the number to the denominator with a positive exponent (or vice versa). You might need to write this saying on the board as student will often forget what to do with negative exponents.
Additional instruction. Be sure all students know about the video and textbook instruction for compound interest (pg. 131-135) after Exercises 3.3A. Compound interest (as shown in the instruction) is the most commonly used concept in consumer finances, especially when it is compounded monthly and will be valuable for everyone to understand.
FV and PMT formulas. Be sure there is time to see some of the FV or PMT formulas worked out in class. Very important that you have time to work through the end of the assignment together to help everyone feel comfortable with the concepts.
Exam preparation and Visual Charts. Remind everyone about the way to make visual charts in preparation for Exam 3.
Student Preparation
Students were asked to prepare for gathering by completing specific activities and/or pondering certain questions. Please refer to the gathering instructions in this week's unit or lesson in the course.
Lesson Outline
Below is a sample lesson plan. Feel free to adjust it to best fit the needs of your group. However, try to make sure that the main purposes are still completed.
OPENING
Announcements, Hymn, and Prayer
(10 minutes)
Announcements
Opening Hymn: Chosen by the Missionaries Opening Prayer: By Invitation
Devotional (5 minutes)
Lead Student Here are some scriptures you may choose to use in your devotional. You may also choose to share one of your own. Doctrine and Covenants 19:35; Luke 14:28-30
GROUP ACTIVITIES
English Vocabulary Practice
(5-7 minutes)
Whole Class
In this activity, students will practice the use and pronunciation of math vocabulary.
1. Write the following number on the board: (5x2)3= 125x6. 2. Ask for a volunteer to read the equation in English.
3. Ask the whole class to repeat the correct pronunciation of the number.
4. Ask that student to write a new equation on the board and to choose another volunteer to say it.
5. Ask the whole class to repeat the correct pronunciation of the number.
6. Repeat this process for no more than 10 minutes or until each person has read an equation.
Verb Use Activity (5-7 minutes)
Small Groups
Divide the students into new groups of four to five students.
In this activity, you will practice using common collocations with the verbs "to do," "to make," and "to pay" and you will practice using the Past Progressive and Past Perfect tenses. Students may refer to the Verb Tense chart and the collocations chart while doing this assignment.
1. For three minutes, all students will plan what they will say for this activity. Each person will describe an experience they have had in the past. To do this, each student will use at least two of the collocations listed in the English Exercises. The collocations in the chart are written in the present tense, but you may need to change them to the past tense.
2. After three minutes, the first person will tell their story while others listen.
3. Those listening will respond to the story teller by sharing their thoughts about their experiences. Also, students will give feedback on the use of the collocations or verb tenses.
Then, the next person will tell their story while the others listen.
Math Exercise 3.3 Part A
(8-10 minutes)
Whole Class
Review this week's Math Exercise 3.3 Part A homework problems. If there are questions about the assignments, work out a few of the most difficult problems together as a whole group or in small groups of 3-4 people.
Either A: Ask for a volunteer who understands the difficult problems and can explain how to complete the problem. (It may help to remind people that being able to explain something to someone else is a great way to reinforce one's own learning. Try to include everyone.)
Math Exercise 3.3 Part B (10-15 minutes) Print the answers
Exercise 3.3 Part B Savings
Or B: In small groups, work through one or two of each type of problem in the homework, letting each group decide which problems they want to work through together.
Small Groups
Work through the problems in Math Exercise 3.3 Part B; rotate the responsibility to explain how to do each problem through the group. If a student doesn't know how to do a problem when it is their turn, they should explain as much as possible and then the rest of the group should help finish the problem. Then, the student should explain how to solve the problem back to the group.
#1-8 should go fairly quickly. If someone has lengthy questions, get with a tutor right away. They are waiting at byui.edu/mathhelp.
#9 Negative exponents create fractions, so they become very small numbers, but not negative numbers. {Of course, there will probably be someone in the class that will point out that if you do (-2)-3 = 1/(2)3 = -1/8, you will get a negative number and they are correct, but the result is negative because of the negative on the 2, not the negative in the exponent. If nobody brings it up, it is probably best not to show them.}
Whole Class
Using the calculator and spreadsheet functions to solve problems.
(7-10 minutes)
#10-13 uses the Savings Plan formulas on pg. 132. A calculator should be used to solve these. They will only use the top formula (lump sum) because there is no payment put into these accounts.
#14-17 If it is possible to have everyone with their own laptops to do these problems on their own, that is definitely the best. If not then sharing or doing the problems on a projector or even writing it on the board will be good. These will all use the FV formula on the spreadsheet. You may need to remind them that the formula requires three special things:
r/n to be entered for the rate, not just r nper is not n it is n*Y Money leaving us is negative in a spreadsheet (initial investment) So #15 should look like =FV(0.07/4,15*4,0,-200).
Exercise 3.3 Part B Loans (8-10 minutes)
Whole Class
Using the calculator and spreadsheet functions to solve problems.
#18-21 uses the Loan Payment formula on pg. 132. A calculator should be used to solve these. This is a big formula and some may struggle putting that many numbers into the calculator disregarding order of operations. Perhaps the easiest way would be to start from the inside out. Most can follow putting in the 1+r/n first, then hit =; then raise that number to the ?nY power; then take 1 ? that answer; then r/n divided by that answer; then multiply by P.
#22-25 If it is possible to have everyone with their own laptops to do these problems on their own, that is definitely the best. If not then sharing or doing the problems on a projector or even writing it on the board will be good. These will all use the PMT formula on the spreadsheet. You may need to remind them that the formula requires three special things:
r/n to be entered for the rate, not just r nper is not n it is n*Y Money leaving us is negative in a spreadsheet (resulting payment) So #23 should look like =PMT(0.09/12,5*12,4800).
The major goal of this time together is to make sure everyone can put the numbers in the formula and use the spreadsheet. Help others but don't take over for them.
Exercise 3.3 Part B Benefit vs. Bondage (8-10 minutes)
Whole Class #26 refers to the Benefit vs Bondage example starting on pg. 133. Note that to find the total interest you paid, you need to calculate your total payments and subtract the original loan amount. Similarly, to calculate total interest gained on savings, you must find your total payments and subtract that from the end balance of the account.
As many students will soon be entering BYU-Idaho or perhaps other schooling, this is an important concept to understand in considering whether it is better to work and pay through school or to take a loan. All may have differing circumstances and what is right for one may not be right for another, but understanding the long term effects of loans will be helpful in making a good decision.
#27 ? Please don't leave folks behind. Help those that might be off in a corner discouraged. Help them connect with a tutor if they are having trouble.
Exam Preparation (8-10 minutes)
Whole Class
Review for the exam. Ask the students if there are any concepts that anyone wants to review or questions since the last exam. Remind everyone that a Visual Chart will need to be created for this chapter. Discuss these concepts or answers to questions to make sure everyone feels prepared for Exam 3.
Any finance questions on the exam will be able to have the use of a spreadsheet to solve them.
CLOSING
Conclusion (2 minutes)
Whole Class
As appropriate, bear your testimony as it pertains to this lesson, this course, or your experiences with the math or personal finance concepts you have learned.
Prayer (2 minutes)
Closing Prayer: By Invitation
