8TH GRADE MATH
Students often ask themselves and their teachers, “When am I going to use this?” In Mr. Argawal’s 8th-grade math class, they are finding the answer! They are working on becoming financial literate, and figuring out problems focused on the use/misuse of credit cards, and learning the key vocabulary terms for home purchases, such as mortgage, FHA, conventional loans, PMI Credit Scores, and how to analyze options available in the financial world. The students learn to solve the problem of the week, followed by a little research paper and a discussion of the economic topic. Mr. Argawal says he is amused when he sees students amazed when they realize that just by making a little extra monthly payment to a mortgage company could save them years and thousands of dollars.
