This is a PPT I put together for my Year 11 top set to cover off the new GCSE topic of exponential growth and decay.
The PPT is fairly straightforward, going through a couple of examples to show one way of answering the wordier style of questions and then develops into questions involving finding unknowns from an exponential graph that has been seen in some Edexcel practice papers and mocks.
I've also included the Exponentials Mastermind activity I'll do to reinforce this topic. It's based around the class crack-the-code style Mastermind game. Students answer the 10 questions and after each one take a guess at the code you make up but are only told how many digits they have correct and how many are in the correct position.
Haven't used it yet so please let me know if you spot any errors.Reviews

Just wondering if the answers are available for the Mastermind activity?

Great resources. Thanks for sharing.

Thanks for sharing. Really useful for revision
Pupils learn to solve equations where the unknown is in the 'power', by changing the base so the powers can be compared (ie - logarithms not needed). The powerpoint has been made to go with the Cambridge IGCSE course but could easily be adapted. If you like this resource then please check out my other stuff on here! :)

Thank you Owen134866 for this learning resource. It really helped me and my students.
Match the equation to the sketch of the graph. Includes straight lines, quadratic, cubic, reciprocal and exponential graphs.

Practice questions, homeworks and assessments
An A3 worksheet for plotting y=2x, y=x^2 and y=2^x for investigating how they differ.

An excellent worksheet on looking at the different types of graphs. I like the cartoon pictures as they relate to the graph being drawn. Thank you for sharing.
This pack contains three activities designed to support GCSE students in plotting and interpreting reciprocal and exponential graphs.
It includes:
1. Drawing & Understanding Reciprocal & Exponential Graphs
This contains worksheets where students must work out the co-ordinates for a series of exponential and reciprocal functions and plot their associated graphs, in order to see the shape made. Following on from this is a set of questions designed to probe understanding and get students thinking about where the functions are defined and the co-ordinates they will pass through.
2. Asymptotes
To help students understand the shape of reciprocal and exponential graphs, this set of PPT slides is designed to give students a chance to understand why and where asymptotes will occur.
3. Graphs Match
This activity is designed to be used when students have studied a range of graphs, including reciprocal and exponential functions. It contains graphs of quadratic, cubic, circle, linear, reciprocal and exponential graphs that students must match to their equations.

A lovely resource - including varied and interestings tasks and answers provided. Clear enough to be used by a non-specialist support teacher so many thanks!
