Original Prompt

I want three different versions of a exponential growth and decay worsheet. It is also for EL students so all 3 versions need to have EL support. But I want level one to be for the struggling learners, level to for the on level learners, and level three for the higher learners.

This learning resource focuses on modeling and solving real-world problems related to exponential growth and decay. It introduces key concepts, definitions, and terminology, including exponential growth (rapid increase over time) and exponential decay (rapid decrease over time). Key formulas for calculating growth (A = P(1 + r)^t) and decay (A = P(1 - r)^t) are provided, along with foundational to advanced practice levels. The document also includes illustrative examples, such as population growth of rabbits and depreciation of car value, as well as practice problems to reinforce understanding. Finally, it encourages learners to create their own exponential models, providing a comprehensive understanding of exponential functions in practical scenarios.
