This 3 day class discusses exponential topics such as the definition of what exponential is, solving exponential equations, plotting points, discussing growth vs decay, plotting curves, and solving application problems. Students will listen to some basic information given by me and practice a few problems from each subtopic as we go through the material. On Day 1, I will give the definition of an exponential including how to solve multistep equations algebraically. On Day 2, the lesson is to plot points, graph the curves of exponentials, and transform graphs of exponential functions. On Day 3, the students will solve application problems involving exponential formulas. Activities from Desmos.com may be utilized.
Learning Goals
Students will identify an equation as exponential or not and identify as growth or decay. Students will solve exponential equations algebraically. Students will plot points, graph exponential curves, and discuss transformations of exponential graphs. Students will solve application problems involving exponential formulas including general growth/decay situations, compound interest, and population formulas.
