With adult supervision, you will survey 3 local banks to determine the types of programs they offer (i.e., savings accounts, checking accounts, investments, loans, etc.). You may talk with a bank employee or research on the internet, or both.

In this project, that means you choose the same one program at each of the 3 banks. For example: say you study and compare checking accounts for each of the 3 banks. Find out all you can about the program offered at each bank … compare and contrast them.

After you pick a program to study, then find 5 things (variables) about the program to investigate…. You must identify the bank that offers an account best suited to an individual who intends on maintaining a daily balance of $500:

You will present your findings to the class in an oral presentation AND you will hand in a poster, a written report, and/or some other measure of showing your results visually. You must identify the bank that offers an account best suited to an individual who intends on maintaining a daily balance of $500.

You will be graded based on the following:

• The presentation itself; is your work clear, interesting, and does it greatly enhance the knowledge of your research?

• Your organization of the information: is your work clear, accurate, and neatly presented so it can be understood?

• Your conclusion: Is it accurate; did you calculate your findings correctly, and did you use correct terminolgy, and can you explain how math works into this project?
