Discovering Growth Patterns

Grow an equation for the exponential graph. Given a graph of an exponential function, class members write the equation of the function provided. The graph labels two points on the graph: the y-intercept and the point where x is one.

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...

Take graphing outside and make a giant coordinate plane to plot your human points. Young graphers are each given a coordinate for a particular shape and asked to make the geometrical shapes one by one. Those not plotted are to write down...

Address key vocabulary in the seventh grade Common Core Math Standards with this comprehensive list. A series of word cards is also provided that supports each term with images and examples, making this an excellent tool for teaching the...

Playing with matches (unlit, of course) becomes an engaging learning experience in this fun instructional unit. Teach pupils how to apply properties of exponential functions to solve problems. They differentiate between quadratic and...

Sal solves several problems involving exponential growth functions for two reasons. First, he aims to familiarize viewers with the process, particularly for those who find exponents challenging or daunting. Second, Sal wants to show how...

If your class struggles with graphing inequalities, or if your lecture could use some help from Sal, this video would be a great help. Sal's instruction is measured and patient, and viewers will walk away feeling more confident and...

Now you have the power to learn about exponential graphs. By watching a video, young mathematicians learn how to graph exponential functions. The method shown here is to create tables of values to graph equations of the form y = k^x.

So, exactly, what does it look like? The easily usable graphing calculator allows pupils to visualize the graph of equations and inequalities. The interactive supports any algebraic graph needed for high school mathematics and then some.

Kick off the school year with some math fun! New classmates share information about themselves by using graphs and interpreting data. The goal is to use a general graph shape, such as linear or exponential, and create labels for the axes...
