Day 17 - Exponential Models

Today students explored the graphs of exponential functions some more. They worked through the following mostly on their own:




The first 4 pages went very quickly and very well. Students got more practice with the Ti-NSpire calculators. They became more comfortable with graphing and with how the machine actually works.

I should have started this the day before when students were done the Eli"M&M"ination activity. While most students at least got through a chunk of the second booklet, they did not finish and the second booklet I want to mark.Theoretically they should work on it at home or during their MSIP, but for much of it they need calculators and many have co-ops that don't let them work on it outside of class. Again, oops!

Yet, it went well. Students remembered how to use the calculator and were able to work through this with just some guidance here and there as I walked around the room.
