Introduction to the Course

Welcome to Financial Literacy for Teens: A Mathematical Approach. The course is divided into distinct units, each dedicated to a specific financial concept. Each unit begins with an explanation of the subject, followed by mathematical exercises that apply these concepts in real-life scenarios. This hands-on method not only reinforces understanding but also demonstrates the real-world applicability of financial knowledge. For more complex calculations, I have provided examples with step-by-step solutions, ensuring no student is left behind. Answers to all unit questions can be found at the answer key at the end of the course (after Unit 15). Recognizing the diverse learning needs, I have included explainer videos in both English and Arabic for select units. These videos are particularly useful to watch before starting the unit exercises. I encourage you to progress through the units sequentially, since some units build upon the last, forming a comprehensive understanding of financial literacy. Let’s get started!
