Exponential Growth/Decay Assessment-I'm Lovin It!
- PDF
Description
A really fun and interesting task that you can use to supplement an exponential functions unit for a summative assessment opportunity. It includes a real-life problem where they will have to use their knowledge of exponential functions to solve.
They will need to know how to:
-Model a situation with an exponential model
-Graph the model on a coordinate plane by choosing the right scale and headers
-Plot points from a table
-Use interpolation and extrapolation to fill in missing values to a table
The task has to do with the hot coffee case that took place in the 1990's where a woman spilled hot coffee on herself accidently and it caused her harm. She sued McDonalds and won because coffee had to be a specific temperature.
The students task is to figure out how long the McDonalds employees should wait before serving the coffee using an exponential decay model.
The product includes the tasks, questions, and a rubric.
