Exponential Functions Activity

Graphing Logs Card Sort | Equation, Table, Graph Match

Make graphing exponential functions interactive and meaningful with this minimal-prep card sort activity! Students will practice matching exponential equations to their corresponding graphs and data tables to build deep conceptual understanding.

✨ What’s Included:

• Page 1: Notes to Teacher (with tips for facilitation)
• Page 2: Student Directions + CCSS alignment
• Page 3: Envelope Template for storing pieces
• Page 4: Graphs of exponential functions
• Page 5: Tables and Equations
• Pages 6–7: Extra copies of equations and tables (2 per page for optional color-coding)
• Page 8: Answer Key
  

Suggestions for Use:

• Print a copy for each student and have them complete the sort individually.
• Use as a station activity during your exponential & logarithmic functions unit.
• Provide to early finishers as a meaningful extension task.
• Laminate pieces for durability and reuse in future classes.
  

✅ Skills Reinforced:

• Matching equations with their corresponding graphs and data tables
• Visualizing transformations of logarithmic functions
• Strengthening conceptual connections between representations
