Interest Posters

These powerful teaching tools are critical for your students. The Interest Can Work For You poster shows students how interest – with regular saving and investing – can help them earn a sizable amount of money for retirement. The Interest Can Work Against You poster shows the opposite – how excessive, high-interest debt, such as credit card debt, can be a huge financial burden.

Teacher's Guide: These large, colorful 18” X 24” posters come with a very practical 24-page Teacher's Guide that has content, teaching activities, teaching visuals, etc. ( Please check it out! ) Students are directed to two web calculators below that are the basis for the graphs on the posters. Your students should experiment with different dollar amounts, interest rates, time frames, etc.

Use the Interest Posters in courses such as economics, personal finance, consumer economics, math, and business economics. The posters are an excellent curriculum supplement to popular stock market simulations. (e.g. Stock Market Game .) The posters also complement the personal finance curriculum materials of the National Council on Economic Education.

With all the financial problems many people face today, it is crucial for students to understand the important role interest plays in their lives. Will your students use interest to their benefit? Or will they take on too much debt and have interest become a crippling burden? These posters will help your students make better choices!
