Just goes to show you that a regular teacher can create interesting web-based content! This site is based on the standard webquest formula which includes an Introduction , Task, Process, Resources, Evaluation, and Conclusion. The premise: 'Captain Anti-Math' has stolen the number 'e' from your hometown. Many local businesses cannot FUNCTION (as in mathematical function). Using Resources provided, students must design an 'e' problem/solution related to their chosen business. Each problem should be a mathematical function or formula utilizing the number 'e'. The solution steps must be clearly mathematically documented. The findings should be presented using a professional looking visual aid (poster, graph, model, etc).
