This is a legacy Mathalicious lesson, and it will be retired June 1, 2022. You have access until your legacy subscription expires, but new users can not access it (even with this link).

We'd be happy to suggest a great Citizen Math lesson to replace it.

At the bottom of act one in the teacher notes, the first deeper understanding question gives two values for how much interest owed for A and B. How are you coming up with those numbers?

Thanks for the catch, Rebecca! Looks like we provided answers for 5 years of interest for A and 4 years for B. We've corrected the handout to reflect interest after 6 years for both.
