Who wouldn't want to wear four pairs of sunglasses? Each pair of sunglasses reduces the percent of incoming light by one-half. An interactive tutorial helps young mathematicians build a graph that models this scenario. They...

Inquiry-based learning and investigations form the basis of a deep understanding of quadratic functions in a very thorough unit plan.  Learners develop recursive and closed methods for representing real-life situations,...

In this math worksheet, students practice the techniques associated with algebra 1. This 5-page worksheet has many different types of problems for the students to solve.

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...

In this problem solving worksheet, 6th graders determine if 4 functions are exponential growth or decay, sketch 4 graphs and compare 2 sets of functions. Students write the rule, linear or exponential, for 4 tables.

In this exponential growth and decay worksheet, students identify equations as growth or decay, find balance in an account, find half-life, identify interest rate, identify the initial amount, and identify the growth factor. 

In this exponential functions learning exercise, students solve and complete 13 various types of problems. First, they state whether the table represents an exponential function or not and why. Then, students graph each function and...

For this exponential growth worksheet, students find the exponential growth and exponential decay of given situations. They simplify problems with exponents and evaluate logarithms. This four-page worksheet contains 23 multi-step problems.

This problem introduces Carbon 14 dating which is used by scientists to date certain organic material. This version is based on the ratio of Carbon 14 to Carbon 12, which decreases at a constant exponential rate after an organism dies....

In this task on exponential decay, students calculate what the amount of Carbon 14 left in a preserved plant will be as time passes and when one microgram will be all that is left. Aligns with F-LE.A.1.c.

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...

This lesson continues exploring the process for modeling real world scenarios by writing and solving exponential and logarithmic functions. It also covers how to create and interpret graphs of such functions.
