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,...

Do you know how the population has grown of your community? Can you predict the population over the next half century? Can we find an algebraic model that matches our data? These along with many more questions can be researched by...

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.

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.

Pupils explain the differences between linear (arithmetic) and exponential (geometric) growth. They use worksheets imbedded in this lesson to help them make predicitions and graph data points.

Students examine the spread of a disease.  In this Algebra II/Biology instructional activity, students collect and analyze data as they simulate the spread of a virus.  Students brainstorm ways in which people can help to stop...

Learners listen to a story dealing with exponential and linear growth. After reading the story, students complete a table comparing information. Using a calculator, learners graph the rice and daily population of flies. They study the...

Harry and his friend make a wager on a game of chess and discuss the concept of exponential growth in this short Cyberchase video. [3:26]

In this video from Cyberchase, the CyberSquad uses a magic lily pad to escape from a desert island.

This is a writing activity perfect for a math class, it's designed to help students see the differences between linear (arithmetic, adding) and exponential (geometric, multiplying) growth. Students explore the ideas of linear and...

For this task, learners examine world population data from 1804 to 2012 and investigate whether an exponential function is appropriate for modeling the relationship between the world population and the year. Aligns with F-LE.A.1.c.

In this task, students investigate the exponential growth of a rumor about a celebrity. Aligns with F-LE.A.2.

For this task, students investigate the power of exponential growth in this real-world example of an invasive species that was introduced to Florida in 1966, a giant snail. Aligns with F-LE.A.2 and F-LE.A.4.

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 table with values of two quantities over time, determine whether the quantities grow linearly or exponentially. Students receive immediate feedback and have the opportunity to try questions repeatedly, watch a video or receive...

At this website there is basic information about world population growth over the last 300+ years. The link at the end of the article is to another article that compares the population growth of two states.
