Exponential Functions Algebra 1 Math Intervention Unit

This editable Algebra 1 Intervention Review Unit provides extra practice resources for Algebra 1 students who are struggling with an understanding of exponential functions. The worksheets are not meant to be used for full class lessons (although they could be if that is your preference).

Skills covered

• Multiplication Property of Exponents
• Zero, Negative and Division Properties of Exponents
• Scientific Notation
• Operations with Scientific Notation
• Exponential Growth
• Compound Interest
• Exponential Decay

What’s included

Each skill comes with the following resources:

• Tracking sheet: record the dates and scores for each activity as well as the entire unit
• Pre and post assessments: a simple pre and post assessment for each skill cluster
• Scaffolded notes: notes that have been broken down for students to fill in the details. Since this will not be the first time students have seen the information, these notes are not as detailed as introductory notes. Two versions are included, blank and completely filled in.
• Review sheet: a quick review, a student input section, and problems intended to be used as guided practice
• Practice worksheet: use as independent or partner practice
• Error analysis: each problem is solved incorrectly. Students identify the error or errors and then solve correctly.

How to use it

Keep this resource printed in a binder in your classroom. Intervention teachers, assistants or volunteers can grab it and work with a small group of students on a set of skills you designate.

Worksheets can be completed as printed sheets. You can also place them in sheet protectors and give them to students for reusable dry erase practice.

Good to know

• An editable version is included. Instructions are provided in the download to help you edit, so read the “How to Edit” file first.
• You must have PowerPoint to use the editable file.
• The questions and headings may be edited. The template itself may not be edited.
