Here learners get to flex some serious algebraic muscles through an investigation of logistic growth. The properties of the constant terms in the logistic growth formula are unraveled in a short but content-dense...

Via the concrete setting of estimating the population of the US, your algebra learners are introduced to a logistic growth model. Comparing and contrasting logistic, exponential, linear and quadratic models, to see which fits the data...

Match the graph with its function in an exercise that focuses on variations of the graph of y = e^x. Learners are given four graphs on the same set of axes and four functions, all involving e^x. The task is to match each...

Students are introduced to logistic growth curves using a graphing calculator. Lab data includes the number of bacteria over a 20-hour period. The activity numerically approximates the derivative and uses regression to find a curve...

In this Computer Algebra System (CAS) activity, students investigate differential equations analytically, graphically and numerically and see relationships between the three approaches.

Using Avida-ED freeware, students control a few factors in an environment populated with digital organisms, and then compare how changing these factors affects population growth. They experiment by altering the environment size (similar...

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

In this activity, the students will predict the national debt by using logistic growth. The students will find the current national debt and use it to make their predictions.

Students model the growth of a population and compare ideal growth with a population whose growth is limited. They use technology to find exponential and logistic regression equations and use them to plot models.
