Identifying Exponential Functions

Curated and Reviewed by Lesson Planet
This Identifying Exponential Functions assessment also includes:
  • Solution
  • Join to access all included materials

Class members have the opportunity to quickly change the variables of an exponential graphs through the use of sliders on Desmos. Four graphs are given and young mathematicians, through the use of the graphing app, can discover which equation matches that function.

Instructional Ideas

  • The the same feature with other parent functions to explore the changes

Classroom Considerations

  • The worksheet does not offer the graphs so learners will need to use the Desmos app or website, and use the sliders feature to access the problem

Pros

  • A great way to explore one basic function through the use of quickly changing features

Cons

  • More of an exploration problem than a problem-solving question
