Mrs. Johnson’s Math 127 Math for Gen Ed class is working on learning about loans. They did a Google Meet with Grant Simotes to learn about car loans, interest rates, fees, etc. They were able to ask questions, chose a car online to “buy”, then created an amortization table for themselves. They calculated how much they paid in total after they made their final payment. It was a neat, real-life activity!
We hope you have a fun and safe Halloween! 🎃
