In this task, students investigate whether exponential functions will always be determined by two points. It complements the task "Do two points always determine a linear function?" Aligns with F-LE.A.2.

The context of this task is that a quarter was put into a bank account in 1901 and students are asked to calculate its value in 2013 at two different interest rates. Those amounts are compared to the appreciation rate of a rare and...

This task asks students to analyze a set of data about the height of a basketball for each time it bounces. They choose a model that reasonably fits the data and use the model to answer questions about the physical context. This variant...

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

For this task, students analyze the sizes of a country's population and of its food supply to determine when and if food shortages will occur. To solve it, they must construct and compare linear and exponential functions and find where...

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.
