Solving Exponential and Logarithmic Equations Drag & Drop

Most of my activities are geared towards in-class learning, but that has changed now. :(

Our district is in a hybrid model with most of the students still working remotely. I made this activity as a quick way for students to show understanding of solving exponential and logarithmic equations.


In Canvas, I used the Google LTI add-on for students to show mastery. I really like having all of my content and assignments in Canvas, so I didn't do a link. However, it is very easy to force a copy and link it to whatever platform you are using! 

Students move the answers to the correct spot. I made the questions part of the background, so the only movable items are the answers. The kids can't mess it up! 

What I love? So easy to grade! :)

Limit Project

Well...we just got back into school after being out for almost 3 weeks because of hurricane Florence. Our school is okay, but there are many people out there suffering from losing so much. :(  I had planned on a project for Calculus before the storm but will have to put that aside until next year! We have just lost too much time. However, I wanted to still share the project with you guys in case you would like to try it or something similar to it.   I like to make projects a unique experience. I hate when all students do the same thing. #1 - students can and WILL copy. #2 - It's boring to grade!  The idea of this project is floating somewhere on the web. I honestly can't remember where I got the idea. But I have altered it over the years to meet the needs of my students. It has gone through many alterations, and I will continue to change things.  So it is not perfect!  The gist - students find a recipe that has at least 5 ingredients. (The recipe ...

Arithmetic & Geometric Recursive Investigation

Investigation and student accountability is extremely important in education today. Students need to be challenged! They will learn so much more by discovering the formulas rather than me just placing the formula on the board!  While talking to my intern about not finding anything cool dealing with recursive sequences, I got an idea. I wanted my kids to find a pattern and develop the arithmetic and geometric recursive formulas using the information that they already know.  I created a cut and paste activity where students had to match the sequence, the type, the common difference/ratio, the explicit formula, and the recursive formula. From that, I hoped that students would be able to see a pattern! On a note card, I had them answer three questions...describe any patterns that you see, write a general recursive arithmetic formula, and write a general recursive geometric formula.   The students did an awesome job until they were asked to produce the general rec...

Exponential Growth & Decay Scavenger Hunt

Scavenger Hunts are always fun (and easy to grade). This particular one is all about applications of exponential growth & decay. My students seem to understand this topic really well, but I still wanted to provide more practice.  When I did this hunt originally, I created the cards with the answer on the front and the question on the back. Once I figured out how to copy and make it work, it was great because I could use the cards over and over again. However, they started looking old, and I lost some of the cards. So t his year, I placed the answer and question on the front. It made it so much easier to copy!  If you would like to try this in your class, here is a copy ! I included the solutions as well.  UPDATE: I created this activity and transformed into a remote version.  Remote Version: SE Scavenger Hunt               TE Scavenger Hunt ~RJ
