Calculating Total Amount of Homework Done
In this exponential growth problem, students calculate the total number of hours of homework done in a thirty-six week period if she does one second of homework the first week and doubles that every week. Students need to take into...
Curated OER
Take a Chance
Students explore possible outcomes and impossible events. They determine if an event is likely or unlikely. Students investigate the possible outcomes of events and they record the outcomes. Students discuss their answers and use...
