Lesson Plans

This section includes lesson plans for the curriculum.Additional activities are integrated throughout the teaching unit and may not be found in this section. In the first lesson, students will have been introduced to graphing exponential functions using graphing calculators in their mathematics classes. I will review those skills again. The half-life of radioactive substances is a concept tested on the TAKS (Texas Assessment of Knowledge and Skills). The term will be defined as exponents are reviewed. All assignments are kept in the individual notebooks as discussed in the strategies.
