Pixar-Themed Compound Interest Scavenger Hunt & Circuit Worksheet
Description
Students need to know the compound interest formula. Students can use a scientific or graphing calculator to solve, there are no continuous interest problems (they do not need to use base e), and they do NOT need to graph or use logs. There are a total of 8 problems.
For this activity, I cut up the half sheets and post them randomly around my room, allowing students to walk around and work in groups. I give students the answer doc and they can start at whatever half sheet they’re closest to. Once they write the answer down, they search for the answer on a different half sheet, write the character’s name, and complete the new problem. I love this twist on a basic worksheet because it gets students moving and working with their peers.
I’ve also included the same problems as a circuit worksheet so students who were absent can complete the problems, or you can use this activity as a circuit training for the whole class. An answer key with worked-out solutions is included.
