Suggested Real-Life Activities:

The following partial list of suggested real-life activities is provided to stimulate thinking about what could be done locally to fulfill the requirements of E08, TSW 9:

ƒá    Create an exponential growth model for the host country population and predict the population at given dates in the future (e.g. 10, 20, 50 years, etc.).
ƒá    Project the growth of their savings accounts (or their school or QSI) using A = P(1 + r)t
ƒá    Create teaching tools (e.g. pamphlets, visual aids, exercise sets, tests, powerpoint presentations, etc.) that could be used by classes in other QSI schools to teach the concepts covered in this outcome.
ƒá    Additional ideas and links can be obtained from the website:
