Looking at a SpringBoard Lesson

Read through Algebra 1, Lesson 22-1 on Exponential Functions in order to get anidea of the types of questions and content addressed in the lesson. Discuss yourfindings with a small group if possible, otherwise simply proceed when ready. Thelesson can be found on pages 8-9 of this Participant Guide.

Getting Ready Pages

Determine which of these questions are prerequisite skills for Lesson 22-1. Circle theitem numbers. You may wish to refer back to the lesson as you do this. Again, if youare working with others, do this with a partner and then share ideas with the largergroup. The Getting Ready page is on page 10 of this Participant Guide.

Adapting the Lesson

Consider how you might use the data from the Getting Ready to inform yourplanning of Lesson 22-1. Discuss possible adaptations for those who did well on youridentified Getting Ready prerequisite questions, as well as those who did poorly. Besure to give very specific examples. Do this either in pairs or independently, byrecording adaptations on Lesson 22-1 (pages 8-9).

SUGGESTED LEARNING STRATEGIES: Marking the Text, Create Representations, Look for a Pattern, Interactive Word Wall, Predict and Confirm, Think-Pair-Share

The National Association of Realtors estimates that, on average, the price of a house doubles every ten years. Tony’s grandparents bought a house in 1960 for $10,000. Assume that the trend identified by the National Association of Realtors applies to Tony’s grandparents’ house.

1. What was the value of Tony’s grandparents’ house in 1970 and in 1980?

2. Compute the difference in value from 1960 to 1970.

3. Compute the ratio of the 1970 value to the 1960 value.

4. Complete the table of values for the years 1960 to 2010.

ACTIVITY 22

Investigative

Activity Standards FocusIn this activity, students explore exponential functions, their application, and their graphs. They learn how different values of the constant factor and the exponent affect the shape of the graph.

Lesson 22-1

PLAN

Pacing: 1 class periodChunking the Lesson#1–3 #4–5 #6–8#9–10 #11–13 #14–17Check Your UnderstandingLesson Practice

TEACH

Bell-Ringer ActivityTell students that their new boss offers them two pay schedules:Plan 1: $300 the first day, $303 the second day, $306 the third day, adding $3 each day.Plan 2: $0.03 the first day, $0.09 the second day, $0.27 the third day, and so on, tripling the rate each day.Ask students to choose which plan they believe is better. They should include a table or graph to support their conclusions.

1–3 Marking the Text, Think-Pair-Share The doubling pattern is introduced, and these questions provide an opportunity to ensure that the context is understood. Have students highlight “price of a house doubles every ten years” and discuss its meaning.

4–5 Create Representations, Look for a Pattern, Sharing and Responding Students use the information from Items 1–3 to complete the table. Be sure that students compute the ratio correctly. While patterns identified by students for Item 5 may vary, as groups share their thoughts, encourage connections to sequences and linear versus nonlinear relationships.

8. The data comparing the number of decades since 1960 and value of the house are not linear. Explain why using the table and the graph.

9. Make use of structure. Using the information that you have regarding the house value, predict the value of the house in the year 2020. Explain how you made your prediction.

10. Tony would like to know what the value of the house was in 2005. Using the same data, predict the house value in 2005. Explain how you made your prediction.

The increase in house value for Tony’s grandparents’ house is an example of exponential growth. Exponential growth can be modeled using an exponential function.

Exponential Function A function of the form f(x) = a ⋅ bx, where x is the domain value, f(x) is the range value, a ≠ 0, b > 0, and b ≠ 1.

$10,000, $20,000, $40,000, $80,000, $160,000, $320,000, …; this is a

geometric sequence because it has a common ratio of 2.

In the table, the rate of change is not constant. Graphically, the points

do not form a line.

$640,000. Following the pattern, the house value will double from 2010

to 2020.

Answers may vary. The value of the house in 2005 was about

$240,000. Since house value in 2000 = $160,000 and house

value in 2010 = $320,000, a linear relationship would give

Value in 2005 = $ , ,320 000 160 000

ACTIVITY 22 Continued

6–8 Discussion Groups, Look for a Pattern, Create Representations Students should identify the sequence of house values as a geometric sequence with a common ratio of 2. This should be reinforced as they graph in Item 7. Be sure that students graph the data from the appropriate columns in the table, columns 2 and 3. Students must address the noncollinear points on the graph and the nonconstant differences in the table when identifying the data as nonlinear.

9–10 Look for a Pattern, Discussion Groups, Construct an Argument, Predict and Confirm Students should have little difficulty extending the pattern to find the value of the house in 2020. In Item 10, students may assume linearity and find the average of 2000 and 2010, an incorrect response. It is not important to correct incorrect responses here as long as students can provide some justification for their responses. Students will revisit this response in later items as they develop the idea of exponential growth.

Developing Math LanguageThis lesson contains the terms exponential function and exponential growth. Have students add the terms to their math notebooks. Encourage students to include a sample scenario with drawings to clarify the definitions. Add the terms to the Word Wall.

Differentiating Instruction

Support students having difficulty understanding exponential functions by having the students choose two integers, a and b, that are greater than 1 and less than or equal to 6. Have them use a table to show a sequence by writing a for the first term, ab for the second, and then multiplying each successive term by b again to get the next term. Have students explain their sequences and how they developed them to another student. Then have them explain why the sequence they just wrote fits the definition.

SpringBoard Learning StrategiesCOLLABORATIVE STRATEGIES

STRATEGY DEFINITION PURPOSE

Critique Reasoning Through collaborative discussion, respond to the arguments of others; question the use of mathematical terminology, assumptions, and conjectures to improve understanding and to justify and communicate conclusions

Helps students learn from each other as they make connections between mathematical concepts and learn to verbalize their understanding and support their arguments with reasoning and data that make sense to peers

Debrie!ng T Discussing the understanding of a concept to lead to consensus on its meaning

Helps clarify misconceptions and deepen understanding of content

Discussion Groups Working within groups to discuss content, to create problem solutions, and to explain and justify a solution

Aids understanding through the sharing of ideas, interpretation of concepts, and analysis of problem scenarios

Group Presentation Presenting information as a collaborative group

Allows opportunities to present collaborative solutions and to share responsibility for delivering information to an audience

Jigsaw Reading different texts or passages, students become “experts” and then move to a new group to share their information; after sharing, students go back to the original group to share new knowledge

Provides opportunities to summarize and present information to others in a way that facilitates understanding of a text or passage (or multiple texts or passages) without having each student read all texts

Sharing and Responding

Communicating with another person or a small group of peers who respond to a piece of writing or proposed problem solution

Gives students the opportunity to discuss their work with peers, to make suggestions for improvement to the work of others, and/or to receive appropriate and relevant feedback on their own work

Think-Pair-Share Thinking through a problem alone, pairing with a partner to share ideas, and concluding by sharing results with the class

Enables the development of initial ideas that are then tested with a partner in preparation for revising ideas and sharing them with a larger group

WRITING STRATEGIES

Drafting Writing a text in an initial form Assists in getting first thoughts in written form and ready for revising and refining

Note Taking Creating a record of information while reading a text or listening to a speaker

Helps in organizing ideas and processing information

Prewriting Brainstorming, either alone or in groups, and refining thoughts and organizing ideas prior to writing

Provides a tool for beginning the writing process and determining the focus of the writing

Quickwrite Writing for a short, specific amount of time about a designated topic

Helps generate ideas in a short time

RAFT (Role of Writer, Audience, Format, and Topic)

Writing a text by consciously choosing a viewpoint (role of the writer), identifying an audience, choosing a format for the writing, and choosing a topic

Provides a framework for communicating in writing and helps focus the writer’s ideas for specific points of communication

Self Revision / Peer Revision

Working alone or with a partner to examine a piece of writing for accuracy and clarity

Provides an opportunity to review work and to edit it for clarity of the ideas presented as well as accuracy of grammar, punctuation, and spelling

Construct an Argument

Use mathematical reasoning to present assumptions about mathematical situations, support conjectures with mathematically relevant and accurate data, and provide a logical progression of ideas leading to a conclusion that makes sense

Helps develop the process of evaluating mathematical information, developing reasoning skills, and enhancing communication skills in supporting conjectures and conclusions

Create a Plan Analyzing the tasks in a problem and creating a process for completing the tasks by finding information needed for the tasks, interpreting data, choosing how to solve a problem, communicating the results, and verifying accuracy

Assists in breaking tasks into smaller parts and identifying the steps needed to complete the entire task

Create Representations

Creating pictures, tables, graphs, lists, equations, models, and /or verbal expressions to interpret text or data

Helps organize information using multiple ways to present data and to answer a question or show a problem solution

Guess and Check Guessing the solution to a problem, and then checking that the guess fits the information in the problem and is an accurate solution

Allows exploration of different ways to solve a problem; guess and check may be used when other strategies for solving are not obvious

Identify a Subtask Breaking a problem into smaller pieces whose outcomes lead to a solution

Helps to organize the pieces of a complex problem and reach a complete solution

Look for a Pattern Observing information or creating visual representations to find a trend

Helps to identify patterns that may be used to make predictions

Simplify the Problem Using “friendlier” numbers to solve a problem Provides insight into the problem or the strategies needed to solve the problem

Work Backward Tracing a possible answer back through the solution process to the starting point

Provides another way to check possible answers for accuracy

Use Manipulatives Using objects to examine relationships between the information given

Provides a visual representation of data that supports comprehension of information in a problem
