Is there more to college algebra than this? Even though the eBook is designed for a college algebra course, there are several topics that align to Algebra II or Pre-calculus courses. Topics begin with linear equation and inequalities,...

Use mathematics to show your classes the power of a good model. Young mathematicians analyze the famous Ponzi pyramid scheme using an exponential pattern. They make conclusions on the reliability of the plan and why it is illegal. 

A smorgasbord of functions, this packet has the basics required for your learners to be successful in the land of early algebra. The packet includes solving equations, graphing, evaluating, simplifying and basically everything else...

In this function instructional activity, students solve complex exponential and logarithm functions. This two-page instructional activity contains approximately six problems.

Learners graph exponential and power functions. For this statistics lesson, students test a specific hypotheses and draw conclusion. They use the graph of polynomials to test and draw their conclusions.

Have your class find the domain and range for each function. Students graph equations using the TI. They find all the x and y values as they relate to the domain and range.

In this 2-day lesson focused on exponents, middle schoolers will cross the curriculum by engaging in science, history and language arts activities. Exponential growth will be explored using grains of rice on a chess board. Exponential...

Students solve problems using exponential properties. In this algebra lesson, students differentiate between exponents, exponential and log functions. They graph their functions using table and exponents.

The djinni in this resource offers gold coins. Learners use the properties of exponents to make their decision as one offer increases exponentially. This makes a great group project. As the commentary suggests, start by having groups...

Build on pupils' understanding of inverse functions by connecting logarithmic functions to exponential functions. This activity allows individuals to see graphically the inverse relationship between an exponential and logarithmic...

In this exponential population growth worksheet, students read word problems and determine the exponential growth of a specified populations.  They find the percent of growth and compute exponential regressions.  Students graph...

Students investigate e, pi and exponents. In this calculus lesson, students define constants and non-constants using, pi, e and exponents as an example. They use the TI to work the problems in this lesson.

In this algebra worksheet, students apply the laws of exponents when solving exponential functions. The define the base, coefficient and exponent or power, which are crucial in doing these problems correctly. There are 7 examples with...

In this limit activity, students evaluate the limit of four functions including trigonometric, arc trig., and exponential functions. 

High schoolers analyze data on debt and write an equation. In this statistics lesson, students are given data from different time periods, and are asked to graph and analyze the data. They work in groups, and are assigned different parts...

Through a variety of physical and theoretical situations, learners are led through the development of some of the deepest concepts in high school mathematics. Complex numbers, the fundamental theorem of algebra and rational exponents...

Pupils differentiate between exponential and power functions. They identify the base, exponent and properties of exponential functions. They also graph the functions using the TI calculator.

Learners are given a logarithmic function and its inverse exponential function. The task, which is to graph both compositions of the two functions, uses the inverse nature of exponents and logarithms to generalize about the properties of...

Why do I have to do bean counting if I'm not going to become an accountant? The 24th installment of a 35-part module has the class conducting experiments using beans to collect data. Learners use exponential functions to model this...

Introduce the concept of exponential functions with an activity that extends the definition of exponents to include rational values. Start with a doubling function at integer values of time, then expand table to include frational time...

Section 9 of the 12 linked Saxon Math sections introduces the young algebrist to graphing periodic functions, creating graphs from quadratic roots, working with inequalities, and rational equations. Common among all the lessons is the...

Learners take derivatives of exponential functions.  In this taking derivatives of exponential functions lesson, students prove the derivative of an exponential function is the exponential function.  Learners find derivatives...

Pupils use properties of exponents to solve equations. For this algebra lesson, students add, subtract, multiply and divide exponential functions. They graph and differentiate between exponential growth and decay.
