Exponential Functions Project
This project includes 6 different real-life exponential situations that are either percent increase/decrease or compound interest. Students can work in groups, or your could assign multiple students the same project. Students are asked to do the following: 1) Write an un-simplified equation to model the situation. (We still want to see (1+r) or all the parts of the compound interest equation) 2) Explain in detail each part of the equation. 3) Write an equation in simplest form to model the

Polynomial Function Project - Roller Coaster
In this project, students learn how to use polynomial function to model roller coaster rides. In this first part, they are given some polynomial functions to find the relative maximum/minimum, increasing/decreasing intervals, x- and y-intercepts, etc. They will explore the average rate of change. In the second part of the project, students are asked design their own roller coaster given some basic criteria. Students should use graphing devices/computer applications to complete this project.

Neighborhood Tours and Piecewise Functions
In this project students will take us on a tour of their neighborhoods. They'll make at least three stops, take pictures, and explain why they chose those locations. After that, they will create a graph of their journey that compares time in minutes to how many blocks they are from home. They will have to use average rate of change over sub-domains to come up with their piecewise graph. After all of that, they will analyze their journey and explain what the domain, range, intervals of increase
