Modeling growth and decay and comparing exponential and linear relationships

Students use exponential models to plan an affordable and memorable trip, and learn how to make informed decisions to avoid getting caught in a costly debt trap.

How do borrowing decisions affect long-term costs? Students plan a travel experience while comparing financing options using exponential and linear models. Through this work, students explore interest, credit, and debt — learning how mathematics can support responsible financial decision-making. Students develop a deeper understanding of exponential growth and its real-world impact.
