In a “sweet” way — using candies — tenth-grade students from John Atanasoff Vocational High School in Targovishte entered the world of investments during a lesson held as part of the Careers Week. The workshop “Simple Interest, Compound Interest” is part of our program “About Money and Other Important Things: Teen” and represents an innovative, active learning game through which students, in an engaging way, acquire financial concepts and see the effects of compound and simple interest in practice.

The lesson was conducted under the guidance of Ms. St. Krasteva, senior mathematics teacher, who opened the class with the words of Albert Einstein:

“Compound interest is the eighth wonder of the world. He who understands it, earns it… he who doesn’t, pays it.”
