This lesson includes ready-to-print notes and practice worksheets that cover formulating exponential functions in the form of y=ab^x.

TEACHERS LOVE the worked-out key included with the lesson notes. Feel confident delivering instruction on these sometimes tricky topics! It is a major time-saver if you don’t have quite enough time to create your own guided notes key for the day.

STUDENTS LOVE the reduced note-taking burden with the guided notes handout. Fill-in-the-blank vocabulary improves the accuracy of students’ notes and frees up more time for showing mathematical steps. The notes video is a fantastic resource for absent students.

TEACHERS LOVE the multiple versions of the practice worksheet.

STUDENTS LOVE the organized presentation of new topics and opportunities for guided practice before independent practice.

TEACHERS LOVE the pre-made exit ticket and next-day warm-up that support skills from this lesson.

This lesson includes a guided notes handout (with video), practice worksheets, an exit ticket, and a next-day warm-up problem.

Students will:

• Formulate the equations of exponential functions of the form y=ab^x from applied situations given an initial value and information about the growth/decay rate or growth/decay factor.
• All rates are per 1 unit.

This resource is in PDF format. Check out the preview for a detailed look!
