• Exponential decay with fractional remainder (1/2 left)
• 9 of the problems are simply evaluating based on the rate, starting value and amount of time
• 3 of the problems will require students to guess & check, use a table, or otherwise solve for the amount of time or starting value (they are not required to know or use logarithms)

How the activity works

In the game "Luck of the Draw" students will test their luck and their knowledge of Exponential growth and decay. They will receive instant feedback and be dealt a new card with each correct answer, building hands of four-cards.

They will rack up points by getting sets of the same card or by getting a color-streak. The card deck is made up of 64 cards, 4 colors, and 16 unique St. Patrick's Day themed images. As they answer all 12 questions in this activity, students will make 3 sets of 4 cards and earn points for each hand. At the end, they will be given bonus points by combining all 3 hands into one mega-hand. The student with the most points at the end wins. You can have students compete in small groups, pairs, or as a whole class.

Additional Features:

• Grade Score % on assignment displays at the top of the page
• Task card problems appear as drop down menus, ensuring each question is easily readable
• Correct answers will turn green
• Incorrect answers will turn red
• Each student copy will generate a unique set of cards (or use the refresh button to shuffle and play again)
