Growth Race Slides
A high-energy presentation using a race scenario ('Steady Stan' vs. 'Power Pete' vs. 'Rocket Rick') to demonstrate how exponential functions eventually exceed linear and quadratic functions. Features table comparisons and visual graph analysis.
Growth Race Lab Sheet
A scaffolded lab sheet for students to track the 'Growth Race' through table calculations and graph interpretation, leading to the conclusion that exponential functions eventually exceed polynomial functions.
Growth Race Teacher Guide
A concise facilitation guide for teachers to lead the small group intervention, including learning objectives, common misconceptions, and step-by-step instructional prompts.
Growth Race Exit Ticket
A quick progress monitoring tool featuring a graph interpretation task where students identify linear, quadratic, and exponential growth patterns and apply the 'eventual dominance' rule.
