      Kymberly, Sarah and Charli, show how their lake flows into a marsh by way of a waterfall.

6th Grade Exponents Projects

Students were asked to answer the question:
    If you earned an allowance for a month, and on the first day recieved a penny, then the next day and for thirty days your amount doubled everyday, how much money would you have on the 30th of the month?

Below are photos of the work as it progressed and some of the finished products.
   
                     All students created some amazing examples of how exponents work!!
