Word Problems

In grade 11 we are working on developing our critical thinking skills by tackling word problems where we don’t always have an equation. We are getting good at making tables and modelling, and also making equations and solving.

We are able to identify exponential growth or decay depending on if the base of the exponential is greater than or less than 1. We know that the rate of increase or decrease is related to what is added or subtracted from 1.

It takes time to build up our skills and confidence.
