Instructional Ideas
- Have participants research ticket prices for current shows to make the project more realistic
Classroom Considerations
- Assumes that learners have access to a graphing calculator
- One model is linear, while the other model is exponential; participants should be familiar with both types of equations before beginning the activity
Pros
- Sample solutions are provided for the worksheet
- Resource includes several different optional activities
Cons
- Only one situation is considered; the task does not particularly help pupils learn how to generalize linear and exponential situations
