This short activity can be used to discuss trends, patterns, growth. The term exponential may be used if appropriate. Students can multiply the numbers themselves, and discuss what is happening with the data. When the points are plotted on the graph grid, students will recognize a non-linear graph. An exponential model may be used to describe this situation. Short videos may be shown to introduce this activity and to grab students' attention! Articles abound about this worldwide phenomena.
