2/28 Algebra 1 - Scientific Notation

We reviewed scientific notation today. The four types of exercises we did were:
1) Rewriting numbers in scientific notation
2) Writing number in scientific notation as regular numbers
3) Multiplying scientific notation numbers together
4) Dividing scientific notation numbers

Students took some notes over some example problems and then worked on the assignment.

2/28 Algebra 2 - Exponential Decay

Today students were introduced to the idea of exponential decay. Exponential growth saw an amount increasing over a period of time (increasing rather quickly) and exponential decay will see an amount decreasing over a period of time (decreasing quickly at first and then leveling off). Students took some notes over some example problems and then worked on the assignment.
