Students graph exponential equations and solve application problems using exponential functions. They re-enact a story about a peasant worker who's payment for services is rice grains doubled on a checker board. They place M & Ms on a checkerboard and mark the number on a graph. They double the number for each space on the board and create a graph of the data. Full Review »

Students analyze patterns of exponential models by collecting data in paper folding and M&M investigations. They use graphing calculators to create scatter plots that lead to equations for the exponential models. They then apply this model to predict the future population changes in African rhinos.
