We know math teachers are frequently asked by their students about ways that they might apply the math concepts they’re learning in the real world. The actuarial profession utilizes a variety of mathematical concepts in addressing issues of risk in the insurance and other industries. To help you illustrate these principles to your students, we are in the process of developing a curriculum supplement called Mathematics of Risk, for use in the classroom. This curriculum supplement will consist of case studies, explanations of relevant mathematical concepts and sample problems for you to use with your students. We anticipate that the final supplement will be available in the winter of 2007.

Currently, you can download a sample of the material that includes commentary to highlight the key features. For classroom use there is also a sample without commentary.

We would very much like to incorporate your feedback and ideas into the curriculum. Please take this survey to help us capture your comments. To thank you for taking the time to share your thoughts with us, respondents to the survey will be entered in a drawing to win a $200 American Express gift card.
