Weekly Pay Growth in a Summer Job: Patterns and Relationships for 10th Grade Math

This engaging 20-minute activity, designed for 10th-grade math students, explores patterns in a hypothetical summer job where the pay doubles each week. Students start with a pay of $0.25 in the first week and analyze how much they would earn in subsequent weeks. They'll calculate at which week their pay will exceed $100 and determine their payment for the 16th week, leading to deeper understanding of exponential growth. Students will graph their results and justify their answers through written analysis, adhering to NCTM and Missouri math standards.
