exponential growth webquest
Directions: Welcome students! The purpose of this Webquest is to help you learn more about exponential functions through interactive activities. Please read each slide, click on the website link, and answer the questions.
Indiana Standard: Represent real-world problems that can be modeled by linear, quadratic, exponential, and rational functions using tables, graphs, and equations. Use technology to represent the functional relationships and translate and interpret different forms (e.g., vertex form of a quadratic, intercepts, end behavior) with respect to the context (AII.MFD.2)

desmos exploration
Directions: Click on the link for a Desmos graph. Play with the sliders and observe the changes that the graph makes. Observe the changes the graph makes as you adjust the a terms and the b term.

population growth
Directions: Doubling pennies is one example of exponential growth. Click the link below to see how population growth can also be represented as an exponential function. Click on "simulation" and plug in different values for the starting parameters. Watch how the graph changes. Answer the questions on the following slides after exploring the simulation.
