Description
Are you looking for a lesson that puts a different spin on linear and exponential functions? This editable, easy-to-use set of guided notes, practice, and instructional videos is designed to help your students build a deep understanding of how to model real-world scenarios involving growth and decay with linear functions and exponential functions. This resource will give your students the structure and support they need to confidently analyze patterns, write equations, and interpret their meanings.
The guided notes break down the topic of linear and exponential functions into manageable chunks by providing clear explanations and step-by-step examples. The accompanying worksheet gives students ample opportunities to gain confidence and apply their new skills through independent practice with a variety of problems. Students especially enjoy this editable, low-prep lesson when paired with individual whiteboards for quick, formative assessment.
You also receive two video lessons (one for each day) that correspond directly with the guided notes. These videos are ideal for days when you need a sub but still want your students to learn the content and not miss a beat while you're gone. They can also be used for a flipped classroom and for additional reinforcement outside of class.
This lesson covers the following topics:
- Comparing arithmetic and geometric sequences to linear and exponential functions
- Determining whether functions are linear or exponential and growth or decay based on graphs, tables, equations, and word problems
- Solving real-world problems involving linear functions and exponential functions (including the formula for exponential growth and decay)
What does Modeling Linear and Exponential Functions Guided Notes and Worksheet include?
- 7 pages of guided notes
- 4 pages of independent practice
- 2 video lessons
- Fully worked answer keys
- Pacing guide and teacher suggestions for the two-day lesson
The guided notes and worksheet are available in PDF and EDITABLE PPT forms.
