Description
This exponential decay activity is a hands-on math lesson designed for Algebra 1 and Algebra 2 students to explore exponential functions through data, graphs, and modeling. It works well as a concept launch, exploration activity, or discussion starter when introducing exponential decay.
Students analyze a real-world situation, look for patterns, and connect their observations to an exponential model without relying on formulas or procedures upfront.
Optional extension tasks allow teachers to deepen student thinking by examining how changes to a situation affect an exponential model, making the activity flexible for multiple levels.
