Bellwork gave students practice calculating the amount an initial investment is worth at a given interest rate for a given # of years calculating interest in different ways. They also had to match the graphs of exponential equations to their equations.
The remainder of the period we finished our discussion on calculating interest, using the formula for continuous interest which uses the number e (Euler’s constant).
