Exponential Functions

This collection of activities is designed for algebra students studying exponential relationships.

Grades: 6th - 10th Grade

• Introducing Exponential Relationships

  We can extend ideas about lines (increasing, decreasing, growth, steepness, etc.) to describe graphs of exponential relationships.

• Circles
• Polygraph: Exponentials
• Avi and Benita's Repair Shop

• Analyzing Exponential Functions

  Exponential functions involve repeated multiplication. We can use this fact to write equations and make predictions.

• What Comes Next?
• Marbleslides: Exponentials
• Card Sort: Exponentials
• Two Truths and a Lie: Exponentials
• Power Pairs

• Modeling with Exponential Functions

  Exponential functions are good models for a variety of natural phenomena.

• Predicting Movie Ticket Prices
