Exponential Functions Powerpoints

Students are introduced to exponential functions through engaging, interactive assessments that simulate real-world growth patterns, such as population changes and compound interest. These digital tools help students visualise how exponential growth and decay differ from linear patterns, strengthening their conceptual understanding. The assessments are designed to complement prior learning introduced in our lesson plans, and students can revisit key concepts using targeted worksheets for additional practice. Printable versions are also available to support revision and deeper problem-solving beyond the classroom.

Students explore how exponential functions model processes that involve increasing or decreasing quantities over time. Through guided questions and real-life scenarios, they analyse exponential behaviour in contexts such as radioactive decay, disease transmission, and financial modelling. These assessments are supported by visual explanations from PowerPoints, helping students make sense of abstract concepts. Teachers can customise each assessment to focus on growth, decay, or mixed scenarios, and track performance using Tutero’s assessment dashboard, which enables immediate feedback and intervention where needed.

Students apply their understanding of exponential functions to real-world problems, using exponential equations to model change over time. Whether analysing interest rates in finance or modelling species growth in ecology, they gain insight into how these functions are used across multiple disciplines. By working through structured problem sets and guided activities, students develop the confidence to interpret, model, and predict exponential behaviours. These applications are reinforced through related content in worksheets and supported by dynamic examples in lesson plans, helping them connect mathematical concepts to practical contexts.
