Exponential growth is one of those places in the high school math curriculum where there is rich opportunity to intertwine ideas from “pure” and “applied” math in ways which don’t feel contrived and which truly deepen student understanding of the power of abstraction. It is one of the high-school level “pure math” ideas that Read more…

Here is a set of questions I have found useful to pose to my precalculus students early in our consideration of exponential functions: Graph the following pairs of equations. You should see a clear relationship between the graphs in each pair. Try to articulate an algebraic Read more…
