1. Students will write and use linear and exponential models to make predictions about different types of investments. 2. Students will work collaboratively to solve a real world problem
 * Instructional Objective(s):**

Simple Interest, Compound Interest, Mutual Fund, Stock, Bond, Dividend, Option || ACTION ||
 * Vocabulary (Including, but not limited to…)**
 * Before-Class Preparation:** Reserve computer lab. Students should have experience working with a wiki using wikispaces.com.

Assign students to groups based on similarities and differences in their individual investment portfolios. More drastic differences in investing strategies may lead to greater discussions during this project. || During Class || Time |||| Instructional Activities || Materials and Resources || 5 minute warm-up

5 – 10 minutes

40 – 45 minutes

5 minutes |||| British Petroleum stock started reached $56/share and has dropped almost 50% in the past 4 months. Assuming the stock continues to drop at this average percentage, how much will the stock be worth in 12 months?

Students will briefly share their investment strategies from the previous lesson with their group members.

Each group has two requirements for contributing to the wiki.

1) They must create a group page within the wiki that incorporates ideas from each of their investment portfolios into one group portfolio.

2) They must contribute to a whole class financial/investment vocabulary page within the wiki.

Exit Slip. Which type of function provides the best model for predicting the rise and fall of stock prices; linear or exponential? Support your answer. || Mimio, graphing calculator

Support for PowerPoint, videos, and other individual student projects to share.

 * Notes:** Students will use the discussion tabs on the wiki page to comment on at least one portfolio presented by a different group. ||

 * Ongoing Assessment(s):** Student work will be assessed throughout the lessons. Students should keep a journal of new vocabulary that they do not understand. A checklist and/or a rubric should be provided to make expectations of the final product clear.

 * Accommodations and Extensions:** For groups where one student seems to take charge or they lack direction, I may need to provide group roles: Bill Gates – Technology expert, Einstein – Mathematician, Webster – Vocabulary expert, Donald Trump – Financial manager.

 * Back-up Plan:** If there are technology problems in school, students can put together their group projects on posterboard. ||
 * Lesson Reflection and Notes:** Students must stay focused on the task at hand during the class time allotted. It is easy to get lost in all of the possibilities out there. It is important that students make the connection that an understanding of exponential functions can help them to make predictions about the future of their investments. ||
