Moore Mathematics

I wanted to help students see that exponential equations apply to real life scenarios. The Murder Mystery takes about 40-45 minutes to complete and should follow a lesson in which students have already learned Newton’s Law of Cooling, and solving exponential equations. I chose to do the activity as a review day. Students loved the idea of solving a murder using mathematics. I have a hint sheet to help students who struggle with solving exponential equations. Although very few students used

This is a keynote presentation (PowerPoint for Mac). I use these presentations every day to teach from. Instead of spending all my time writing the problem on the board allow the slideshow to do all the work for you. Using the slideshow will allow you to focus on students instead of writing the problem down. You can edit all of the slides if you want to tailor the lesson to your needs. The presentation is set up to first explain the process then allowing students plenty of opportunity to p
