__Monday,February 21, 2011 __

1. Warm-up: Interactive Notebook Page 3(Copy the following problem.) A Salary Situation Suppose you are given two different options for salary at a temporary job. Plan A: You can earn $2,000 each week, or Plan B: You can earn 1 penny the first week, 2 pennies the next week, 4 pennies the next week, and so on, doubling your salary each week. The job lasts 25 weeks, and your goal is to earn the largest total salary for the 25 weeks. 2. Watch: Using an exponential function to model real-world situations 3. Exponential Growth Folding Activity(Close computers!)  4. Exponential Growth Problems: Workbook pg 109(1-3)  5. Exit Ticket: Quick Exponent Quiz(Raise your hand when you have 5 out of 5!)
 * Which salary plan would you choose and why? Write down your initial reaction.
 * <span style="font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive;">Use a spreadsheet or some other method to figure out which salary plan is better.
