Level Up Your Graphing Skills for Investing Gains

Presenter: Maria Michelsson

Objective

Teachers will be able to:

  • Understand how to improve their graphing skills which can help their students better understand investment trends.
  • Explore the similarities and differences of various types of growth (decay) curves.
  • Apply middle/high school mathematical concepts to the growth curve.

Description

This webinar will cover different types of growth and decay curves, such as linear, exponential, logarithmic, and logistic curves. Participants will learn how these types of curves can be applied to investing. Learners will analyze and interpret the similarities and differences between these curves. They will also investigate their behaviors by studying the format of their equations, their gradients (slopes), and their impact over time. Participants will be able to link the various characteristics associated with each type of curve with Next Generation Mathematical Middle/High School Standards and Concepts. Throughout this engaging and interactive session, participants will use a graphing calculator or a graphing website to examine the various growth curves.
