How fast does it grow? Scholars work on two tasks dealing with exponential growth, one on population growth and the second on investments. Learners research a country's population over the past century and make predictions of the current population. They also take a variety of investments ranging from cash to real estate and determine the return on their money. Individuals use their findings to create presentations for the class on both tasks.
