Week 4: Exploring exponential and logarithmic functions

This exploration activity builds on the model-eliciting activity from Week 3. Now that students have developed an exponential model, they'll explore aspects of the model and its inverse, a logarithmic function.

Again, graphing calculators should be made available to students as they complete the activity.

Also this week, a conversation about the use of graphing calculators (i.e., Why might graphing calculators be banned?) and conceptions of what it means to struggle (i.e., good thing or bad thing?).
