In this 2-day lesson focused on exponents, middle schoolers will cross the curriculum by engaging in science, history and language arts activities. Exponential growth will be explored using grains of rice on a chess board. Exponential...

These four lesson plans build algebra skills for working with numbers in exponential form and for examining triangles. Be aware that in the text, scientific notation is referred to as index notation and the laws of exponents as the laws...

Students solve exponential problems using exponential properties. In this algebra lesson, students discuss the meaning of exponents, and bases raised to different powers. They explore exponential functions using a computer.

Students explain the importance of scientific notation. In this physics lesson, students determine the resistance of resistors using the colored bands. They compare and contrast scientific notation and resistor band notation.

Students pretend to borrow $1000.00 on a credit card. They pretend to make the minimum payments for a year. When they're done, they make a pie chart showing how much of their payments reduced their debt, and how much was interest.
