Interest Can Work For You or Against You Posters

This colorful 18” x 25” two-poster set shows students how interest – with regular saving and investing – can help them earn a sizable amount of money for retirement.  The posters also show how excessive, high-interest debt, such as credit card debt, can be a huge financial burden.

A very practical Teacher’s Guide with information and activities to accompany the posters is available at the KidsEcon Posters© web site: 
www.kidseconposters.com

 

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 so much debt that it becomes a crippling burden?  These posters will help students make the right choices!
