Making a Million

Needed: paper, pen and access to a scientific calculator

This event builds on your students’ knowledge of percentages which we
develop into the basics of exponentials and logs, combined with their
reasoning and problem-solving skills, to provide the opportunity to
evaluate investment strategies and determine if they really can make
£1,000,000!
