Interest and Loans
Lesson Outline
I wanted to give Hunter an overview of simple and compound interest rates, loans, and credit card interest. We watched several videos about these topics, including one on Payday Loans. Hunter said "I probably won't get a credit card because I will be too lazy to pay it on time."

Lesson Topic
Practical Math
Lesson Outline
I had Hunter do some exercises with checks, deposits, and checkbook registers. He filled out sample checks and registers, and found the balance in an account after several deposits were made and checks were written.
We took a field trip to Publix. We walked through the store and talked about unit prices and practical things for him to purchase in the next phase of his life. Since he will not have a kitchen of his own to stock, his expenses will be down. We went up and down most of the aisles, and he wrote the price and quantity of things he thought he would purchase. Back at school, they totalled about $125, and he estimated that it would feed him for a week and a half to 2 weeks.
We also watched some short videos on Khan Academy, in which Sal gave suggestions to graduates on how to spend/save money.

Lesson Topic
Personality Assessment
Lesson Outline
Hunter was in a talkative mood, and was thinking about different options for his future. I decided to veer off the math path and give him 2 personality questionnaires. Both gave him questions that would identify him as introverted or extroverted, intuitive or sensing, feeling or thinking, and judgmental or perceptive. We added up the tallies of his answer (this was the math element of the assignment), and we then could identify 4-aspects of his personality. I read him the descriptions of his personality type, and we talked about the types of jobs and tasks that would be fitting for him based on the assessment.

Logarithms
Lesson Outline
We watched several lessons on Khan Academy on Logarithms. Logs are the inverses of Exponents. After a few videos and my explanation, Hunter understood the concept and was able to successfully complete online exercises. I gave him an activity from an Algebra 2 Honors Class. In total, he completed 35 questions without needing much help. I am proud of him!
