1. Apply and understand the concept of simple interest.
2. Perform calculations to show that they grasp the concept of compound
interest and its application.
3. Calculate proportional parts and apply them in real-world scenarios...
Simple Interest
 Begin by discussing the concept of interest and why it is important in
finance and personal budgeting.
 Define simple interest as interest that is calculated only on the principal
amount.
 Introduce the formula for calculating simple interest: I=P⋅r⋅t, where I is the
interest, P is the principal amount, r is the interest rate per period, and t is the
number of periods.
 Work through examples on the whiteboard and have students solve
problems on simple interest.
 Begin by reviewing simple interest and its formula.
 Define compound interest as interest that is calculated on both the principal
amount and any previously earned interest.
Compound Interest
 Introduce the formula for calculating compound interest: A=P⋅(1+R/100) ^n,
where A is the future amount, P is the principal amount, R is the annual
interest rate, n is the number of times interest is compounded per year.
 Work through examples on the whiteboard and have students solve
problems on compound interest.
 Proportional Parts
 Start by defining proportional parts as parts of a whole that maintain the
same ratio as the whole.
 Explain the concept of proportionality and how it is used in various contexts.
 Work through examples of proportional parts, such as dividing costs or
quantities in a ratio.
 Provide real-world scenarios where students need to calculate proportional
parts and guide them through solving these problems.

Application Activity: Real-World Problems

Problem 1: Simple Interest

You want to borrow $5,000 from a friend for 6 months to fund a small home renovation project. Your
friend agrees to lend you the money at an annual interest rate of 4%. Calculate the simple interest you
will have to pay at the end of the 6-month period.

Problem 2: Compound Interest

You are considering two savings accounts. Account A offers a 3% annual interest rate compounded
annually, while Account B offers a 2.5% annual interest rate compounded quarterly. If you deposit
$10,000 into each account, which account will yield more money after 3 years, and what will be the
difference in the final amounts?
Problem 3: Proportional Parts

You and your three roommates decide to split the monthly rent for your apartment, which is $1,200.
However, one of your roommates is moving out, and you need to recalculate the rent split based on the
number of people living in the apartment. How much should each of the remaining roommates pay,
assuming the rent is split proportionally?

Problem 4: Simple Interest and Proportional Parts

You want to purchase a new laptop for $1,200, but you cannot afford to pay the full amount upfront. The
store offers you an option to pay in 12 equal monthly installments with a 5% annual interest rate.
Calculate the monthly installment amount and determine how much interest you will pay in total. How
much would the total cost be if you paid the full amount upfront?

Problem 5: Compound Interest and Investment

You are considering investing $5,000 in a high-yield savings account that offers a 4.5% annual interest
rate compounded monthly. You plan to leave the money in the account for 5 years. Calculate the future
value of your investment after 5 years. How much interest will you have earned by the end of the 5-year
period?
Seated Practice with Answers

Instructions: Solve the following problems involving fractions and decimals. Check your answers with the
provided solutions.

Problem 1: Electrical Work

You need to install a wire that is 3/8 of a foot long and another wire that is 1/4 of a foot long. How long are the
wires combined?

Solution 1:

To find the total length of the wires, add the fractions:

3/8 + 1/4

First, find a common denominator, which is 8 in this case. Rewrite 1/4 as an equivalent fraction with a
denominator of 8:

3/8 + 2/8

Now, add the fractions:

(3 + 2)/8 = 5/8

So, the combined length of the wires is 5/8 of a foot.

Problem 2: Carpentry

You have a board that is 3.5 feet long. You need to cut off 1.25 feet from the board. How long will the remaining
piece be?

Solution 2:

To find the length of the remaining piece, subtract 1.25 feet from 3.5 feet:

3.5 - 1.25 = 2.25 feet

So, the remaining piece is 2.25 feet long.

Problem 3: Welding

You are welding a steel plate that is 0.375 inches thick. You need to weld another plate that is 0.125 inches thick
on top of it. What will be the total thickness of the welded plates?

Solution 3:

To find the total thickness of the welded plates, add the decimal numbers:

0.375 + 0.125 = 0.5

So, the total thickness of the welded plates will be 0.5 inches.
Problem 4: Auto-Mechanics

You are working on an engine with a cylinder bore diameter of 3.75 inches. If you need to increase the bore
diameter by 0.0625 inches, what will be the new diameter?

Solution 4:

To find the new diameter, add 0.0625 inches to the current diameter:

3.75 + 0.0625 = 3.8125 inches

So, the new diameter will be 3.8125 inches.

Problem 5: Electrical Work

You have two wires. One is 1/3 of a foot long, and the other is 0.75 feet long. What is the total length of these
wires?

Solution 5:

To find the total length of the wires, add the fractions and the decimal:

1/3 + 0.75

First, convert 0.75 to a fraction with a denominator of 3:

1/3 + 3/4

Now, find a common denominator, which is 12 in this case:

4/12 + 9/12

Now, add the fractions:

(4 + 9)/12 = 13/12

Since 13/12 is an improper fraction, you can convert it to a mixed number:

13/12 = 1 1/12

So, the total length of the wires is 1 foot and 1/12 of a foot.
