Abstract
In this paper, the authors discuss the use of GeoGebra in the teaching of financial issues in basic and secondary schools and in teacher preparation courses. By means of example, the authors illustrate the use of GeoGebra as a vehicle for explaining present-day financial issues while providing students with skills necessary to make well-informed monetary decisions. The dynamic features of GeoGebra encourage experimentation and deep conceptual understanding of the mathematics underpinning various financial formulas.
