What is the optimal amount of homework for SAS middle school students?

1) Describe and exponential growth factor. Include key properties such as growth factors. An exponential growth pattern is something that grows at a constant amount. The previous amount is multiplied by a growth factor. Example: Growth factor of 2, or doubling. 1, 2, 4, 8, 16, 32, 62, 128, 512, 1024, 2048, 4096... 2) How are exponential functions similar to and different from the linear functions you worked with in earlier units? Exponential functions are similar to linear functions because both have y-intercepts. They can both be graphed, have and equation, and table. Exponential functions are different than linear functions because exponential functions have growth factors, but linear functions have slopes. Linear functions go up by a constant rate of change, but exponential functions don't. The graph for linear functions include straight lines whereas the ones for exponential functions are curved. Linear equations take the form of y=mx+b, but exponential functions take ...

Preparing for "war", but they are really bad. Through training they become stronger and better.

https://youtu.be/GKSRyLdjsPA  - Narrative. I really like this video because it tells a story in a really interesting manner, one that you wouldn't see in many other music videos, and the story is very original and compelling. https://youtu.be/GTyN-DB_v5M  - Performance and Narrative. I liked this video a lot because it tells a story about a girl, but it also shows the artist singing, because the song is about her.

EXAMPLE: My SLEEP Goal Typically you try to answer the 6-W questions EXAMPLE Who: Who is involved? That’s easy! “I …” What: What do I want to accomplish? Again, be specific here: “… want to improve my max push ups in 60 seconds by 7 … ” When: Establish a time frame. “… in two months …” Which: Identify requirements and constraints. Which way are you going to do this? “… by eating right and exercising …” Where: Identify a location. The more details you fill in to form a complete picture, the more likely you will be to execute the plan. “… in the gym …” Why: Give specific reasons, purposes or benefits of accomplishing the goal. “… so I can be healthy, fit and energetic.” “I … want to improve my max push ups in 60 seconds by 7 … in two months … by eating right and exercising … in the gym … so I can be healthy, fit and energetic.” “My REWARD for achieving this goal will be.............” My SLEEP Goal Who: I... What: Want to improve the...
