- Title
The Book as a Hook: Literature and Exponential Functions.
- Authors
Kaplan, Gail; Rice, Lynn Anne
- Abstract
Playing with rice provides a concrete representation of exponential functions. The math-literature connection provides a "hook" to generate interest in exponential functions. Subsequent investigations provide the opportunity to analyze and understand how the functions can be used to represent real world situations. Students create their own story containing a situation whose resolution requires exponentials. The classroom comes alive as students actively pursue mathematical understanding.
