Purpose: This lesson reviews common exponent configurations using whole number exponents. A brief review of each problem type is provided along with some sample problems. The following problems are included: -- Positive base raised to Positive exponent -- Negative base raised to Positive exponent -- Positive base raised to Negative exponent -- Negative based raised to Negative exponent -- Fractional bases --Exponents equal to 1 ,-1, and 0 Because explanations and examples are provided, stude

Go beyond “I do, we do, you do”. More thinking, less process. The user can choose to apply two discounts to a purchase: 1) a percentage off the purchase and 2) a fixed amount off the purchase. Part 1: The user can only apply 1 coupon. Which should they choose? Part 2: The user can apply both coupons. Does it matter which discount is used first?

Description:Answer Key includedThis activity contains 2 parts, students will: 1.Using the Internet, research and select one interest-bearing bank accounts (savings, Money Market, CDs). 2. Graph the account balance over time for their selected account and the example (for a total of 2 exponential curves) to observe the exponential nature of compound interest. Part 1 provides some practical experience with navigating banking information and facilitates the use of individualized data for each s

Note to teachers 1. The project is designed so that each student has a different combination of points. This approach allows students to work in groups without directly copying answers from each other. An example is worked as part of the answer key. 2. If you would like all students to work with the same point, you can provide the x and y coordinates for 2 both points. 3. Two versions of the project are provided. Project A (Slides 2 and 3) is an easier version of the project, with specific i
