This hands-on activity helps students develop an understanding for how to use an exponential function (y=ab^x) to model different situations. This specific activity has students start with 100 squares that are "Alive" and they shake them and drop them every round and count how many squares survive each round. They will eventually develop an exponential function (y=100(0.50)^x) to model the number of squares left as a function of how many rounds have passed. Students will then graph their functio

This small packet helps students learn how to graph logarithmic functions by first rewriting the function in exponential form, then putting values into a table and graphing them. There is one example done by the teacher (you could do more if you like) and there are three problems for the students to try, with different bases. This is a good introduction activity for the first day you start to cover graphing logarithmic functions.

This short packet has students read about a situation, create an exponential function of the form y=ab^x to model that situation, fill out a table of x and y values, graph the function, then answer questions about significant parts of the graph (intercepts, etc.) There are population growth models as well as decay models.

This is an activity designed as practice for Compound Inequalities in Algebra 1/Algebra 2. There are three levels of difficulty so that students can practice at a level that suits their current abilities or they can complete multiple levels of difficulty for extra practice and enrichment. Each compound inequality has a solution and graph that it must be matched up with. The answer keys are included with the product, but do not appear in the preview so that your students cannot look up the answer

This is an activity designed as practice for Solving Literal Equations in Algebra 2. There are three levels of difficulty so that students can practice at a level that suits their current abilities or they can complete multiple levels of difficulty for extra practice and enrichment. Each domino has an equation on the right side, asking students to solve for a variable. There will be another domino in the stack which has as its left side the solution to the problem from the previous domino. Feel

This is an activity designed as practice for Composition of Functions in Algebra 2. There are three levels of difficulty so that students can practice at a level that suits their current abilities or they can complete multiple levels of difficulty for extra practice and enrichment. Each domino has an expression on the right side (ex. "f(g(3))") and a value (ex. "7") on the left side. Students must take the expression on the right, evaluate the composition of functions for the given value, then o

This is an activity designed as practice for Evaluating Expressions in Algebra 1. There are three levels of difficulty so that students can practice at a level that suits their current abilities or they can complete multiple levels of difficulty for extra practice and enrichment. Each domino has an expression on the right side (ex. "f(3)") and a value (ex. "7") on the left side. Students must take the expression on the right, evaluate the expression for the given value, then once they have the r

This worksheet/handout has students change from logarithmic form to exponential form and vice versa. It also has student find a missing variable in logarithmic equations by converting to exponential form and using intuition to figure out the answer.
