Exponential Decay with Dice

Lesson Overview

Learn how to use dice, tables, equations and graphs to explore exponential functions.

Some questions to think about:

• How many dice do you think will be left after 3 iterations of this process?
• How many iterations of this process do you think it will take to have 50 dice left?
• How many iterations of this process do you think it will take to have 25 dice left?
• How many iterations of this process do you think it will take to have no dice left?
• Can you write an equation to model this situation?
