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....

What does the graph mean? Pupils view 10 graphs and determine whether they are possible based on their contexts. The contexts are distance versus time and profit versus time.

Knowing the temperature coefficient allows for the calculation of voltage output at any temperature. Groups conduct an experiment to determine the effects of temperature on the power output of a solar panel. The teams alter the...

Pass along the knowledge of the great Sir Isaac Newton with this worksheet on the laws of motion. Including three separate problems, each involving multiple parts and calculations, this resource is a great way to...

Your young fishermen learn about exponential function growth by interpreting the pieces of the given equation within the context of numbers of fish in a lake.

Your learners analyze the familiar model of a cold beverage warming when it is taken out of the refrigerator. The general form of the equation and its graph are presented. Learners learn about the specific pieces of the function by...

This lesson plan begins with a review of linear functions and segues nicely over its fifteen examples and problems into a deep study of exponential functions. Linear and exponential growth are compared in an investment task. Data tables...

Your algebra learners will enjoy the real-life application of the three tasks presented here. They complete a table and a graph comparing the two options presented. One option is linear, while the other is exponential. After coming up...

Mathematicians use a CBR 2™ motion detector to determine their speed or velocity going down a playground slide. They also experiment with different ways to increase their speed going down the slide. Finally, students complete the Student...

Students collect height versus time data of a bouncing ball using the CBR 2™ data collection device. Using a quadratic equation they graph scatter plots, graph and interpret a quadratic function, apply the vertex form of a quadratic...

Learners explore data that be modeled by a logistic function. They have the opportunity to study real-life data and create a mathematical function to model the data and make a prediction.

Pupils explore quadratic functions in this algebra instructional activity. They investigate transformation of quadratic functions using the TI calculator. They use the vertex form for this instructional activity.

Young scholars explore linear functions in a crime solving context. They collect and analyze data using linear equations, then interpret the slope and intercepts from a linear model.

Pupils explore data collection in this lesson. They investigate distance vs. time and velocity vs. time graphs using information collected with a CBR 2 to simulate the reconstruction of an accident.

Students study exponential decay and its application to radiocarbon dating. In this exponential decay lesson, students use candy to model the time it takes for something to decay. Students also graph the data they collect and...

High schoolers organize data from the USA TODAY Snapshot, "Is leisure time really shrinking?" into two scatter plots and determine the quadratic model for each scatter plot. They determine if these graphs intersect and learn the concept...

Learners engage in a lesson that is about finding the vertex of a parabola while using symmetry. They use the symmetry to find out where the two lines meet. The line is displayed with the help of a graphing calculator. The lesson...

For this problem, students use an exponential equation to investigate the cooling of a cup of coffee and how long it would take for it to cool down to different temperatures. Aligns with F-LE.B.5 and F-LE.A.4.

In this task, students learn about exponential decay by examining the amount of Carbon-14 left in a preserved plant with the passage of time after the plant has died. This provides a simple introduction to Carbon-14 dating but the actual...

In this task, learners are asked to identify whether changes are linear or exponential. Aligns with F-LE.A.1.

In this task, students learn about exponential functions when they investigate the exponential growth of an invasive fish population. Aligns with F-LE.B.5 and F-LE.A.1.c.

Practice analyzing the end behavior of two functions that model similar real-world relationships, where one function is exponential and the other is polynomial. Students receive immediate feedback and have the opportunity to try...

Given a description of a real-world relationship, determine whether that relationship is linear or exponential. Students receive immediate feedback and have the opportunity to try questions repeatedly, watch a video or receive hints.
