(An Exploration of the Application of Exponential Functions to Investment Evaluation)
The target audience for this concept study is 11th and 12th grade high school students. As High School programs rarely include direct exploration of investing and budgeting, before you is a digital lesson that may be implemented as part of class curriculum, or pursued as a self-paced course.

Pursintajj Zoo is an introduction video for the application of fractions and percentage.
Also included is a follow-up practice activity for the students.
Consider halting the video each time the characters encounter a challenge and have the students develop solutions, then compare those solutions to what the characters choose.

Quality sketching is a key skill for an engineer to master in order to enhance their ability to clearly communicate their ideas. Sketching takes significant time for instructors to review and provide feedback. Check out the ITS (Intelligent Tutoring System), SketchTivity, providing immediate feedback to students about their sketches.
