 * Lesson Topic and Description:** Exponential and Logarithmic Functions

Level of Thinking:
 * Do you know how to plot point to create a graph?
 * Identify the parts of an exponential growth function.
 * Write a exponential growth funtion for a compound interest problem.
 * Examine the differences in an exponential growth and an exponential decay function.
 * Compare savings options at different banks and come to a conlusion on which program is the best
 * After researching several banking options, give three different situations for saving and explain who would benefit the most from each option. Create a presentation that uses exponential graphs.
