This Week:
We begin a new unit titled, Growing, Growing, Growing (GGG), which is a study of exponential growth and decay. Our focus this first week will be recognizing exponential relationships in tables, graphs, and equations as we study the fictional land of Montarek and the chess board quandary between the King and peasant. Within this unit we will also study operations of exponents and scientific notation.
