Exponential Functions Through Car Depreciation
This is a group/individual activity where students get to see exponential decay in real life, understand why it happens, find growth rates, and practice calculating expected values. By the end of the activity, students will be ready to have a rich conversation about functions theoretically approaching zero. They will then have to rectify that theoretical truth with the reality of car values.
By the end of the project, students will be able to:

Algebra 1 - Performance Task - Young Earth Creationism - Common Core
This project asks students to consider how population might have grown if the Biblical theory of young earth creationism is true (Earth is between 6,000 and 10,000 years old). The main topic from algebra is exponential growth. Students would benefit from the use of a graphing calculator throughout this project due to the large numbers and modeling problems. This project is one you definitely will not find in an Algebra Book and is meant to apply algebra to a real life debate. Enjoy.
