Task
Materials
One 10-frame per pair of students (see example below)
[IMG]
Counters, 10 per pair of students
Decks of number cards 0-5 (with 4 of each number) or two 0-5 dice
Setup
This activity is done in pairs. The students sit side by side with 10-frame and deck of cards or dice. If they have cards, the cards are shuffled and placed face down in front of them.
Action
Player 1 flips a card or rolls the die. They place that many counters on the 10-frame. Player 2 flips a card or rolls the die. They place that many more counters on the 10-frame next to the counters already on the ten frame. The students count the total together.
A recording sheet can be added when the students have been introduced to equations and number sentences. For those students who can handle higher numbers, a deck of 0-10 cards and two 10-frames can be used.
This game can also be played alone.

Malik bought a new car for $15,000. As he drove it off the lot, his best friend, Will, told him that the car’s value just dropped by 15% and that it would continue to depreciate 15% of its current value each year.
If the car’s value is now $12,750 (according to Will), what will its value be after 5 years? Complete the table below to determine the car’s value after each of the next five years. Round each value to the nearest cent.

Problem 2
Every day Brian takes 20 mg of a drug that helps with his allergies. His doctor tells him that each hour the amount of drug in his bloodstream decreases by 20%.
Construct an exponential function in the form
$${f(t)=ab^t}$$
, for constants
$$a$$
and
$$b$$
, that gives the quantity of the drug, in milligrams, that remains in Brian’s bloodstream
$$t$$
hours after he takes the medication.
How much of the drug remains one day after taking it?
Do you expect the percentage of the dose that leaves the bloodstream in the first half hour to be more than or less than 20%? What percentage is it?
How much of the drug remains one minute after taking it?
