High schoolers solve the mystery of dead Mr. Potato Head using physics and algebra. They discuss Newton's Law of cooling as it applies to the mystery scenario involving a cooling baked potato as the "victim". They manipulate algebraic...

Students linearize data to determine if an exponential model is suitable. In this linearizing data to determine if an exponential model is suitable lesson plan, students graph the residuals of sets of data that appear to have an...

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 should be taught after students have mastered the laws of exponents and...

Explore the power of mathematics through this two-week statistics unit. Pupils learn about several climate-related issues and complete surveys that communicate their perceptions. They graph both univariate and bivariate data and use...

Pupils build a working definition of regular fractal, look carefully at the concepts of dimension and scale, and are introduced to logarithms. They solve simple exponential equations for the exponent both by trial and error and using logs.

Middle schoolers build a working definition of a regular fractal, they measure the concepts of dimensions and scale, they explore the concept of a logarithm and they attempt to solve simple exponential equations for the exponent both by...

Eleventh graders study seven functions. They use their handheld calculator to determine which family of functions the equation belongs, the parent function described, and they calculate the vertical and horizontal translation.

In this precalc lesson, learners write out definitions, identify functions, solve integrals and derivatives and graph trig functions as they relate to angles. This is a final exam for precalculus. There are 80 questions on this exam.

In this calculus worksheet, students take the derivative of functions, solve logarithmic equations and derive log formulas. There are 25 questions on this test.

Teach how to explore exponential equations.  In this Algebra II lesson, students investigate the graph that occurs as a hot liquid cools.  Students model the data algebraically.

Using the TI-89 calculator, students explore the statistical, graphical and symbolic capabilities of the TI-89.  Students investigate topics such as solving systems of equations, finding inverse functions, summations, parametrics...

Perform transformations on exponential functions! Teach your class how to perform dilation, compression, and translation. They graph exponential functions using the TI Calculator.
