Introduction to Growth and Decay
Students learn about exponential growth and decay through real-life examples like population growth and radioactive decay. They start with basic calculations using simple growth rates and advance to more complex exponential functions. By 5th grade, they apply mathematical models to predict outcomes and understand long-term impacts in science, finance, and economics.
Modeling Linear Growth and Decay
Students model linear growth and decay starting from simple contexts like savings accounts and population decline. They learn to create and interpret linear models, and by 5th grade, they apply these models to complex situations in economics, environmental science, and technology, analysing and predicting trends and behaviors.
Real-Life Examples of Growth and Decay
Students explore exponential growth and decay through examples like population growth, radioactive decay, and depreciation of assets. They learn to model these processes mathematically. By 5th grade, students apply growth and decay models to predict outcomes and make decisions in environmental science, finance, and health sciences.
