Everything you need to teach exponential function word problems and graphs to your Algebra students! This set of 3 full lessons plus a quiz teaches students the fundamentals about exponential functions at an Algebra 1 level. Each lesson includes a warm up, guided notes, and a robust set of practice problems. Full answer key included. Aligned to the Common Core Algebra standards.

This bundle addresses the following objectives:

• Graph an exponential function
• Analyze key parts of an exponential function and how they relate to its graph
• Write an exponential growth equation from a word problem
• Write an exponential decay equation from a word problem

The word problems include examples from an array of real world applications including population growth, interest rates, bacteria, disease spread, depreciation of car value, and more.

My students really loved these lessons and did very well on their quiz. Hope this works well for yours, too!

Considering pairing this unit with my Zombie Project which uses zombies to compare and contrast linear and exponential growth. That is how I always launch this unit in my class.
