Exponential phenomena are at work all around us-from population growth to how long it takes for a bouncing ball to come to rest. This carefully paced video program will not only introduce students to the rules of exponents and scientific notation, but engage them in a thoughtful exploration of exponential functions in table, graph and equation form. Students will see how these functions compare to linear ones and watch how exponential growth functions grow at a tremendous rate over time while exponential decay functions decrease incredibly over time. Because of exponents, big numbers get bigger and small numbers get even smaller. Part of the multivolume Algebra for Students DVD Series. A teacher's guide is included and available online.
