Exponential Models

Graphs, tables, and equations, oh my! Your Algebra learners will compare and contrast linear and exponential functions in this complete lesson plan. It includes the graphs, tables, verbal description scenarios, equations, and an...

Task your mathematicians with a thought-provoking worksheet that matches equation models with t-tables and verbal models. Exponential and linear functions are mixed up and your learners will need to decipher which goes with which. A...

How do you make a penny grow to $5,000 in just 15 days? Use the examples in this lesson to explore the concept of exponential growth and its comparison to linear models. Pupils come to understand that exponential growth eventually...

Making connections between a function, table, graph, and context is an essential skill in mathematics. Focused on comparing linear and exponential relationships in all these aspects, this resource equips pupils to recognize and interpret...

Context makes everything better! Groups use real data to create models and make predictions. Classmates compare an exponential model to a linear model, then consider the real-life implications. 

How can you safely model exponential growth and decay? A hands-on activity uses candies to model not only exponential decay, but also exponential growth. Exponential equations are fitted by hand and by use of a calculator to the data...

I just bought that car, how can its value decrease already? Individuals use the data of a depreciating car value to create an exponential decay model. They then compare exponential decay and growth equations.

What does an exponential pattern look like in real life? After viewing a video of the population growth of bacteria, learners use the real-life scenario to collect data and graph the result. Their conclusion should be a new type of graph...

Touchdown! This is an exponentially insightful lesson that explores the growth of football games with different video game consoles. Class members discuss whether the increase of mergahertz can be described as linear or exponential. The...

Viewers play a game with Sal, in which he presents three different data sets that come from either linear, quadratic, or exponential functions. In solving this puzzle, Sal manages to not only provide a strong definition of each function,...
