2/20/2008 Algebra 2- Function Composition

Today students asked questions over Friday's notes to begin class, then they worked on the practice problems pertaining to the material in the notes.  Students took  a homework quiz at the end of class over problems from the assignment.  We will begin the next section on Friday.

2/20/2008 Algebra 1 - Exponential Growth

Today students were introduced to the idea of exponential growth. We talked about how exponential growth functions have a constant growth rate, but the amount that it is growing by differs. The picture above shows an exponential growth model. Students will be looking at problems modeling population growth and compounding interest to model exponential growth.
