Provide a real world context in which exponential functions are used to determine a eal world phenomena such as compound interest and exponential growth. This lesson plan should be taught after students have mastered the laws of...

For this chemistry worksheet, young scholars examine the given concept in order to apply in the laboratory setting. The sheet includes in depth background information.

Explore how real-world applications can be parabolic in nature and how to find quadratic functions that best fit data. A number of different examples of modeling parabolas are explored including a student scavenger hunt, the exploration...

Students explore the concept of piecewise functions. In this piecewise functions lesson, students graph piecewise functions by hand and find the domain and range. Students make tables of values given a piecewise function. Students write...

High schoolers after investigating examples of exponential growth students have an intuitive feel for the concept of exponential growth of a system.

Students understand the dynamics of acid rain and its impact on the living and non-living environment. They hypothesize how acid rain affects water pH levels in two lake systems with differing watershed features.

Tenth graders create polynomial quilts. In this polynomials lesson, 10th graders use concrete models, such as construction paper, to create various shapes described. Students use the FOIL method to multiply terms and to get a square...

Tenth graders study graphing exponential functions. In this transformations lesson, 10th graders apply inquiry to determine how changes to a parent function affect its graph. Students analyze transformed graphs and generate the function...

Students create lines and shapes with a compass and a straight edge. In this geometry lesson, students investigate square roots, irrational numbers and spirals. They explore nature to see the shapes representing mathematics and geometric...

Learners gather data for the project for the entire year. They plot their data, try to fit a equation to their data, and speculate on why the data shows the pattern it does and project its future growth.

Students examine how a Richter scale operates. They create a booklet illustrating each rating on the scale. They discover how engineers use different measurement tools.

Students engage in an interactive Internet lesson covering the reasons and results of earthquakes. After reading eyewitness accounts and viewing animations, they use seismograms to measure and locate the epicenters. In an ongoing study,...

Students explore the concept of budgeting. In this budgeting lesson, students read an article about preparing for retirement. Students create a budget of household expenses during retirement and create a savings plan for that budget.

Pupils determine the size of the population at a given time. They calculate the time at which the population will be a given number. They observe how the population grows at the rate that is directly proportional to the number of members...

Students work together on a word problem. They write a written report of the answer. They participate in a chessgame in which the answers are used.

Evaluate any logarithm in a calculator with the use of the change of base formula. Students receive immediate feedback and have the opportunity to try questions repeatedly, watch a video or receive hints.

This site explains Logarithms. The site has examples the student can examine and exmples the student can work and check online.

Solve exponential equations that have 2 or other numbers at the base of the exponential term. Students receive immediate feedback and have the opportunity to try questions repeatedly, watch a video or receive hints.

Solve exponential equations that have 10 or e at the base of the exponential term. Students receive immediate feedback and have the opportunity to try questions repeatedly, watch a video or receive hints.

This site explains the derivatives of standard logarithmic and exponential functions. The site has example problems and grades your work, explaining errors you may have made when attempting the problem.

This is a 20 question quiz on logarithmic and exponential functions. This is a good way to be sure you know how to use logarithms and exponents. The site however only tells you if you've made a correct choice, there are no explanations.

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.
