Exponential growth and decay

In this post is a video and free cheat sheet for graphing exponential functions by hand. I also linked an exponential growth and decay digital math escape room covering growth and decay through graphs and word problems, including compound interest compounded annually.

Growth vs decay. How to find factor to rate and rate to factor.

A Lab activity to help students discover what exponential growth and decay are. It's for pre-algebra or algebra 1. This is a modified version of a similar lab I found online (I can't remember where) so I don't take credit for the idea. Only the formatting.

Today I'm sharing a creative way to use candy (in this case Skittles) for a modeling exponential growth and decay activity in Algebra.

Exponential growth and decay are terms used to describe how quickly physical quantities change in value or shape. You might know that the bacterial colony has exponential growth and decay.

Exponential Growth and Decay Stations game - Free download as Word Doc (.doc / .docx), PDF File (.pdf), Text File (.txt) or view presentation slides online. This is a stations game on exponential growth and decay that I created. Place each station in a different part of the room. Have the students move around the room until they've visited all the stations and have figured out the exponential growth or decay equation that fits the situation. It's for pre-algebra and algebra 1 students

I love math templates! They have made my teaching life so much easier and have saved me a lot of time. This free math template is for graphig exponential functions. Algebra students graph their function then identify the parent function, the y-intercept, the x-intercept, the domain, range, if the exponential graph shows growth or decay, and the increasing and decreasing intervals.
