Exploring Exponential Growth and Decay Functions
In this unit, students will use and apply exponential functions of growth and decay in real-world situations. Students will collect and analyze data with the use of the TI-83 graphing calculator, graphs, tables, and other sources.

Rhinos and M&M’s® (Exponential Models)
The objectives of this lesson are for students to explore the patterns of exponential
models in tables, graphs, and symbolic forms and to apply what they have learned to
make predictions in a real situation.

Compound Your Way to a Million Bucks!

Can Cruddy Cool As Fast As Clean?
Students will investigate variations in cooling times for ordinary tap water and salt water. Data will be collected using the CBL unit and the TI-82 calculator to create and interpret data plots. Students will become familiar with Newton’s Law of Cooling and be able to verbalize and write conclusions made from the collected data.
