TVM Solver

To use the T.V.M Solver, first press the "APPS" key then select "FINANCE" then go to "T.V.M Solver".

N: is the number of periods in the term of your investment, annuity, loan, etc.

I%: represents the rate of interest before adjustment for inflation for an investment, annuity, loan, etc.

PV: means the present value of the investment. Can be positive or negative. If it is positive it indicates the amount of money gained by the investment. If it is negative it indicates the amount of money lost or paid out to the investment.

PMT:represents the payment made to the investment or to pay for a loan.

FV: represents the future value of an investment after compounding period.

P/Y: represents the number of payments per year from an investment. Must be a positive integer.

Here are two options for no payment periods:

-Set "N" to years and P/Y=1

OR

-Set "N" to payment periods and P/Y=C/Y (Compounding periods per year)

"PMT: END BEGIN.": used to set the TVM Solver for 'ordinary' annuities, (END), or annuities 'due' (BEGIN).

Here are some examples:

For my References I used the following link: http://argyll.epsb.ca/jreed/calculator/ti83p/TVM.htm

The examples, screenshots, and pictures that I used are also from this site.

I also used wikipedia search to help understand some of the words I didn't know.

Scriber Post

Yesterday we did mental math, then had a work period while Mr.Max marked our tests from a while ago.

Scriber Post

Today started with mental math like normal, then Mr.Max told us that Exercise #2 questions 2&3 are an exit slip. He split the class into the two halves, left and right, and told us to work as individual groups then present the answer to see if we get it right and see the differences between the two groups.

Selection Reflection

This year we started by doing linear equations.

Then we learned how to solve systems of linear equations. We then learned how to identify the different types of linear equations (Inconsistent, Dependent, Independent,Etc.), then we started on the substitution method.

Then we moved on to the addition/subtraction method.

By then we have a deadline on mental math for 15 mastered objectives.

And the last thing we did was word problems and I think they were the hardest thing to do.

I decided to post all of the pictures from each unit so that if the network isn't working, you can still look at some of them somewhere.

Today Mr. Max wasn't going to be here for the class, so he just came and told us to do Accelerated Math for the whole class and to dismiss ourselves at 12:00.

Scriber Post

Today Mr. Max gave us a bunch of tips and tricks to make accelerated math easier, so here they are:

After he gave us these tips, we worked on mental math.

September 10th

We started by doing Mental Math #3, and correcting the homework assignment.

Then Mr.Max's internet messed up so we didn't do much.

So we have to do a practice post assignment...
