Natural Base e Discovery Activity

This product is a one page discovery activity for students to explore and discover the natural base "e". This is a great way to introduce the natural base e, and its importance, after learning about exponential functions and compound interest.

I used this activity as a warm-up to review compound interest from the previous class and then introduce e. My students did great with this discovery because it helped them explore and discover the new special number instead of just lecturing about it.

The product comes in a zip file with three documents including, a PDF of the worksheet, a word document of the worksheet, and my answer key to the worksheet. This way you can edit the activity as you please or just print it out directly for your lesson tomorrow :)

I hope you enjoy this! Check out my other activities, discoveries, and resources.
