Expo FUN! Exponential Function Graphing with Harry and the Horcrux

I often ask myself, why can't I just use what I have? Because I'm a 'puppy at the park' according to Girl's Who Code author Reshma Saujani. I get soooo excited over something new and especially when it can be themed.

Enter Harry's Horcrux Quandary!

I needed a Exponential Functions Graphing Activity and always love when there is instant assessment. Graph across the Horcrux, Harry Finds it! Get my notes and PPT here for free.

I just couldn't resist. I love the graph across a picture assignments so students know immediately if they did it correctly. 

There are 5 problems with no transformations as that what out standards expect. But you can edit to fit your needs. I always provide the PDF and Word document. 

I also included my editable word document with the graph template in case you need to adjust.

The font I used is Harry P and available for FREE on dafont.com here!

Hope you can help Harry find the remaining Horcrux!

Enjoy!

Exponential FUNctions - Graphing

And today.... we graphed!  Below are the fabulous notes I received from my colleague, Mrs. Villarreal.  

I, of course, had to 'font' them up and fit them to my students needs with fill-in-the-blank and interactive notebook grid lines.

These are the finished ones.  I must place a disclaimer here: this is only the third time I have taught these.  In order to even learn them (as I had not done them in 20 years) I used these incredible resources I found on the internet by following along on this link.  Pretty sure I could not have done it as proficiently (or even 'ficiently') without these resources!  I wrote more about it on my earlier blog post here.

I followed this up with another activity from Algebra Accents available on Teachers Pay Teachers:

$3 and it saved me about 4 hours of planning and manipulating!  Completely worth it!  The graphs were beautiful.  I know that a lot of blogs share free resources and that is generally what I do with mine.  I usually create activities that save me that $2 or $3 only to realize it takes hours sometimes away from my family.  This unit, I've used a lot of paid resources and as a result, I've been able to spend extra time at home and planning for my class.  Money well spent in my opinion.  Only took me 17 years of teaching to figure this out!  And this blog has helped me to appreciate the time that goes into creating activities like these! 

Another fabulous option that I completely forgot about until this writing was this one:

And the icing on the cake?  It's FREE on Teachers Pay Teachers.  Simply click the picture above to be taken to this incredible FREE resources from Lisa Tilmon!!!

In years prior, we used this note sheet for our 3rd day of Exponential Functions.  This was after graphing and regression lessons and assignments from this link.

As always, please let me know if you have anything to add or see any needed corrections!
