Real-Life Math fun! Geometric Series, Compound Interest, Financial Maths I
By Daniel
This practical Real-Life Math exercise is perfect, as it shows students the real-World connection!
This fill-in tasks lets students calculate the future value of a $100 investment at the start of every month for one year. The future value of such an annuity of $100 is the real-life application of the sum of a geometric series. Compound Interest is the Real-Life application of Geometric Series.
Recurring investments (annuities) is a geometric series. The formula for the sum of a geometric series is therefore also the formula for the future value of an annuity. When students realize this, they never need to try to memorize two formulas. They also make the connection between the 2 sections of mathematics and realize that it is fact the same mathematics.

Real-Life Math fun! Geometric Series, Compound Interest and Financial Maths II
By Daniel
With this fun activity, students learn valuable real-Life Math lessons.
In this task, (with answer key), students invest $50 at the start of every month and then calculate the value of each $50 at the end of that year. The future value of an annuity like this $50 monthly investment is the real-life application of the sum of a geometric series.
Recurring investments (annuities) is a geometric series. The formula for the sum of a geometric series is therefore also the formula for the future value of an annuity. When students realize this, they never need to try to memorize two formulas. They also make the connection between the 2 sections of mathematics and realize that it is fact the same mathematics.
