Exponential Relationships
Your work with exponential relationships built upon knowledge from science class. To demonstrate knowledge and understanding with exponential relationships include the following:
- Example of an exponential table with paragraph explaining of why the table is exponential.
- Example of an exponential graph with a paragraph explaining why the graph is exponential.
- Example of an exponential equation with a paragraph explaining why the equation is exponential.
- Each example/paragraph should use key vocabulary from the unit
- Each example/paragraph should include supplemental pictures or diagrams to aid in explanation
- Each example/paragraph should make connections to real world concepts
- Parent Problem
- Make up a problem drawn from something you were asked to learn in this unit and ask someone at home to solve it. Include a copy of the problem with your solution, to be used as a key.
- You may make the problem challenging but not extremely difficult. The parent problem should have some depth, and may be somewhat like a three step homework problem. Ask for work to be shown and reasoning to be explained in writing.
- If the person is struggling, offer hints or clues to help.
- Write a paragraph describing the whole process. Include your parent’s work in the portfolio.
- Reflection
- In a paragraph, describe something you learned from exponential equations. This could be something new you came to understand since seventh grade, something still puzzling you, a connection you made between math concepts or from math to the real world, or something else.
- Tell why you've included this information and your feelings about it.
