XBOX Xponential - UPDATED!
How have video game console speeds changed?
In this lesson, students write exponential functions to model Moore's prediction and the observed growth rate, and they discuss potential consequences should video games eventually become indistinguishable from reality.
Students will
- Write an exponential function to a model a verbal prediction for the growth of processor speeds.
- Describe how processor speeds have actually changed using an exponential model.
- Discuss the implications should video games become indistinguishable from reality.
Before you begin
Students need to be familiar with exponents. It's helpful if they know how to construct a basic exponential function, but they do not have to have this skill prior to the lesson.Common Core Standards

How can you make money in a pyramid scheme? Students learn about how pyramid schemes work (and how they fail), and use geometric sequences to model the exponential growth of a pyramid scheme over time.
Pandemic
Why hasn't everyone already died of a contagion? And, if vampires exist, shouldn't we all be sucking blood by now? Students model the exponential growth of a contagion and use logarithms and finite geometric series to determine the time needed for a disease to infect the entire population. They'll also informally prove that vampires can't be real.
