Illustrative Mathematics: F Le Carbon 14 Dating in Practice I

Curated by ACT

In this task, students learn about exponential decay by examining the amount of Carbon-14 left in a preserved plant with the passage of time after the plant has died. This provides a simple introduction to Carbon-14 dating but the actual process is much more complex. Aligns with F-IF.C.8.b and F-LE.B.5.
