Show how exponential growth can look linear. Pupils come to understand the importance of looking at the entire picture as they compare the US population to the world population. Initially, the populations look linear with the same rate...

Your learners have probably heard of climate change, but do they really understand what it is? Study the history, details, and future implications of global warming and the greenhouse effect with a set of activities designed for an...

For this task, learners examine world population data from 1804 to 2012 and investigate whether an exponential function is appropriate for modeling the relationship between the world population and the year. Aligns with F-LE.A.1.c.

In this activity, the logistic model for the growth of the world's population will be developed.

In this task, students are shown a table of world population data and asked to explore whether linear functions would be appropriate to model relationships within the data. Aligns with F-LE.A.1.b.
