The Algebra, Functions & Data Analysis (AFDA) class at MSHS is designed to bridge the concepts taught in Algebra I with Algebra II. We use the Pearson Custom Publishing book titled Algebra, Functions, and Data Analysis.

In suspension bridges, the deck is the surface upon which the traffic travels from one end of the bridge to the other. By analogy, since money is the surface upon which all worldwide economic traffic travels, the information presented in Chapter 8 paves the way for understanding several financial concepts, including personal finances, simple & compound interest, annuities, amortization, installment loans, and mortgages.

My Powerpoint lessons for this chapter, linked under the "Powerpoint Lessons" sidebar on the right, are intended for use in class in conjunction with the student notes. I have noted the file size for those still needing to use dial-up connections. The Student Notes & Objectives file is linked to the chapter designation underneath the sidebar header.

Note: Due to time constraints, I am most likely going to be posting the course materials throughout the school year as I get them ready for presentation in class for the first time. Please bear with me on this, and email me if you are seeking materials for a particular topic that hasn't yet been uploaded.
