Linear vs. Exponential
Linear or exponential?. Learners watch an informative video comparing situations that may be modeled by either a linear or exponential relationship. Pupils determine the type of relationship and then create a function that models the...
Flipped Math
Exponential Decay
The values keep getting smaller—quickly! Pupils watch a video that contrasts exponential decay with exponential growth from the first lesson in the unit. Learners identify exponential functions that are decaying and create graphs of...
