Population and Food Supply

Curated and Reviewed by Lesson Planet

What does it mean for something to grow exponentially, and how does that compare to linear growth? This activity tries to help learners gain an understanding of these concepts while modeling real-world problems. Linear and exponential functions are created, compared, and interpreted in relation to the problem. An excellent problem to motivate a deeper understanding of different types of functions.
