Building and Solving Equations Activity Template
I used, this template as an introduction to Solving Exponential Equations. Students had to build exponential equations starting from x = #. For example, x = 3, In the next step, multiple by 2 to get 2x = 6. Add 3 to both sides, 2x+3 = 9. Finally raise each side of the equation to a base: 5^(2x+3) = 5^9. I had students switch papers and them solve the equation by undoing the steps in the reverse order. I liked how students were able to justify the strategy of equating the exponents when the bases are the same.
