 Narrative
 The first partner spins to get a group of coins. They write a question that compares the amount they spun to a different group of coins that they make up.

Concept/skill: 
Solve word problems involving dollar bills, quarters, dimes, nickels, and pennies, using $ and ¬¢ symbols appropriately. Example: If you have 2 dimes and 3 pennies, how many cents do you have?

Answer: 
Yes. In this activity, students write word problems that compare coin amounts.

standard_description: Observe using graphs and tables that a quantity increasing exponentially eventually exceeds a quantity increasing linearly, quadratically, or (more generally) as a polynomial function.
problem_activity: Task
How do the values of the three functions $f(x) = 2x$, $g(x) = x^2$ and $h(x) = 2^x$ compare for large positive and negative values of $x$?
Explain
your findings from part (a) for $f$ and $g$ by studying the quotients $\frac{g(x)}{f(x)}$.
Explain your findings from part (a) for $g$ and $h$ by studying $\frac{g(x+1)}{g(x)}$ and $\frac{h(x+1)}{h(x)}$ for different values of $x$.
