Introduction to Exponential Functions
This lesson begins with a review of linear functions and segues nicely over its fifteen examples and problems into a deep study of exponential functions. Linear and exponential growth are compared in an investment task. Data tables are...

Comparing Linear and Exponential Functions
Teach your class how to differentiate between linear and exponential functions. They use exponential properties to solve problems, graph them using the TI-Navigator, and make comparisons.
Curated OER
Scientific Notation III: Linear vs Exponential
Students after investigating examples of exponential growth students have an intuitive feel for the concept of exponential growth of a system.

World Population Study
Students explore an exponential relationship and how it relates to human population growth and the current global population crisis. They graph both exponential and linear information.
Curated OER
Scientific Notation III: Linear vs Exponential
Students examine the differences in exponential growth and linear growth of a system. They interpret data on graphs and develop their own charts. They answer discussion questions as well.
