Description
This is a detailed unit covering exponential and logarithmic functions. This unit includes four multi-day PowerPoint Slides, two quizzes (including multiple versions), a comprehensive test (2 versions), review guide, an in-class project/lab modeling exponential growth and decay models, and answer keys for everything. I’ve also included the handwritten notes from every class so you can follow along and see the progression of the lessons. This unit also includes a reading from the book The Hot Zone (the first chapter has questions relating to it), and a worksheet that explains the exponential process in the movie Contagion.
Specific topics:
• Definition of an exponential function
• The natural exponential function (e)
• Definition of the logarithmic function
• The relationship between “e” and the natural logarithmic function
• The properties of the logarithmic functions
• Expanding and condensing logarithmic functions
• Solve exponential and logarithmic functions with the logarithmic properties
• Use exponential models to investigate Newton’s Law of Cooling
• Exponential growth and decay models
• Compounding interest problems
These lessons align to the Common Core standards.

This lesson has plenty of details but it is put together in a such a careless, piece-wise and haphazard manner it is almost useless for classroom instruction. It contains rules with very little explanation and almost no context. There is little continuity between and very little explanation within the lessons and concepts are weakly defined. Even as a high school math educator it took great effort to piece the information together. What's more, in order for me to create a comprehensible lesson plan there are many holes I need to fill. It is deeply disappointing that you chose to categorize this as an in depth no prep lesson plan. Though your solutions are correct, the presentation is confusing and unorganized. The learning trajectory is almost nonexistent and absolutely no explanation or guidance is offered in the way of a lesson plan. While I can appreciate the mathematics, overall this was a waste of my time and money.
Michael- these lessons are made for educators who know the material and are looking for a way to explain it to their students. Instead of starting from scratch, these lessons give you quizzes and tests with point-based rubric keys, daily powerpoints with the daily objectives, and actual daily lessons so you can see the flow of the course on a daily basis. These are made for a classroom with a projector so you (the teacher) can use an interactive white board or a standard white board to go through the lessons.

CCSSHSN-RN.A.1
Explain how the definition of the meaning of rational exponents follows from extending the properties of integer exponents to those values, allowing for a notation for radicals in terms of rational exponents. For example, we define 5 to the 1/3 power to be the cube root of 5 because we want (5 to the 1/3 power)³ = 5 to the (1/3)(3) power to hold, so (5 to the 1/3 power)³ must equal 5.
CCSSHSN-RN.A.2
Rewrite expressions involving radicals and rational exponents using the properties of exponents.
CCSSHSA-REI.D.11
Explain why the 𝘹-coordinates of the points where the graphs of the equations 𝘺 = 𝘧(𝘹) and 𝘺 = 𝑔(𝘹) intersect are the solutions of the equation 𝘧(𝘹) = 𝑔(𝘹); find the solutions approximately, e.g., using technology to graph the functions, make tables of values, or find successive approximations. Include cases where 𝘧(𝘹) and/or 𝑔(𝘹) are linear, polynomial, rational, absolute value, exponential, and logarithmic functions.
