Paper folding, flu spreading in a school, bacteria growth, and continuously compounded interest all provide excellent models to study exponential functions. This is a comprehensive resource that looks at many different aspects of...

Connect geometric sequences to exponential functions. The 26th installment of a 35-part module has scholars model situations using geometric sequences. Writing recursive and explicit formulas allow scholars to solve problems in context.

Give your class a concrete example of exponential growth and decay using this hands-on activity. These Algebra II lessons allow for the exploration of exponential growth and decay models, as well as the discovery of the patterns of...

Take a functional approach to the national debt. Learners collect information about the national debt by decade and plot the data. They determine whether an exponential curve is a good fit for the data by comparing the percent changes...

How can you model exponential decay? Explore different situations involving exponential decay functions and decreasing linear functions by performing activities with MandM candy, popcorn kernels, and number cubes.

Investigate exponential growth and decay. A set of six activities has pupils collecting and researching data in a variety of situations involving exponential relationships. They model these situations with exponential functions and solve...

Learners explore exponential growth and decay using M&M’s in this Algebra II/Pre-calculus lesson. They investigate the cost of a new car by calculating depreciation and payments.

Mixing math and art is done in this lesson by applying graphing knowledge to create a unique piece of art. This lesson varies acording to the graphing knowledge of the artist. First, learners identify and review various types of graphing...

Your algebra learners write linear, exponential, and quadratic equations containing the same two graph points in this collaborative task.

If the flu outbreak continues, exams will have to be canceled. Investigate the properties of exponential and logarithmic functions. In this algebra lesson, students use the TI to examine and differentiate between exponential growth and...

Students plot on a coordinate plane. In this algebra lesson, students identify points on a coordinate plane and graph lines given coordinate pairs. They create a model as they study bald eagles and their growth and decay.

These aren't models made of clay. Young mathematicians model given population data using exponential functions. They consider different models and choose the best one.

Students solve equations by graphing. For this algebra lesson, students differentiate between functions and relations. They use the TI to graph their equation and analyze the graph.

Eleventh graders investigate inverse functions.  In this Algebra II lesson, 11th graders use their prior knowledge of linear, exponential,and quadratic functions to create a graph of an equation they have never seen before.

Students will learn and reinforce skills for solving for unknowns, manipulating equations while keeping them in balance, using formulas to solve real-world challenges, and working with proportions, radicals and exponents.
