Exponential Growth and Decay Practice

Exponential Growth and Decay Practice

Students will identifying cases of exponential growth and decay, as well as modeling real-world scenarios using exponential growth and decay. This no prep activity contains three pages of practice, one half-page homework/exit ticket assignment, and four versions of a short quiz on the topic, as well as a full answer key for all parts. Just make your copies and it's ready to use!

The practice consists of three mains types of problems. The first type asks students differentiate between exponential growth and exponential decay from a given graph or equation. The second type tasks students with interpreting the rate of change or the growth/decay factor from the equation in words, and vice versa - converting the word version to what it would be in the equation. The final problem type asks students to read a word problem and turn the information into an equation that they can use to predict a particular future value. Each type of problem has it's own practice, and are use on the homework assignment and quiz as well. This is best used while teaching these concepts, or after teaching them to assess student knowledge. Any of the pages could easily be used for in class practice, review, homework, or an assessment. With the variety of activities in this resource, you'll have plenty of problems to use with your students in a variety of ways!
