This is your life Project Workbook (Exponentials PBL Project)

Help students explore exponential growth with a financial & life planning project. This student workbook will guide students in making a preliminary plan for their future where money is concerned. There are step by step directions, examples, and reflection questions embedded in this journey. This is a project guide only; you still need to teach students the content about exponential functions and solving equations throughout the project.

I facilitated this project using the workbook for the first time last year and it was amazingly helpful for students working at a different rate than the timeline I set.

I strongly recommend you plan a presentation day when you invite parents and community partners to see students' work! During COVID-19 restrictions, consider setting up an online event where students can show videos of their presentations to outside adult connections. Allowing students to showcase their work is a great motivator and a great way to assess their understanding of the material.

Inviting a financial adviser to present to your students at the start of the project is a great entry event.
