Compare features of two real-world relationships that can be modeled by linear functions, where the functions are represented in different ways. Students receive immediate feedback and have the opportunity to try questions repeatedly,...

[Free Registration/Login may be required to access all resource tools.] Learn how to distinguish between linear, exponential, and quadratic models.

[Free Registration/Login may be required to access all resource tools.] In this lesson students draw a scatter plot of data, find and draw the function that best fits that data, and make predictions from that information. Students watch...

This resource presents a complete and detailed look at linear regression. This guide provides lots of details and graphs to explain each concept.

Given a description of a real-world relationship, determine whether that relationship is linear or exponential. Students receive immediate feedback and have the opportunity to try questions repeatedly, watch a video or receive hints.

Given a table with values of two quantities over time, determine whether the quantities grow linearly or exponentially. Students receive immediate feedback and have the opportunity to try questions repeatedly, watch a video or receive...

In this task, students are shown a table of world population data and asked to explore whether linear functions would be appropriate to model relationships within the data. Aligns with F-LE.A.1.b.

This activity serves as a follow-up to Activity 4 in the Explorations book, Modeling Motion: High School Math Activities with the CBR by Linda Antinone, Sam Gough, and Jill Gough (Texas Instruments Incorporated, 1997).

In this activity, students explore linear equation models for real-life situations.

The population of the world has grown rapidly over the last century. In this activity, several models for the growth of the world's population will be developed. The validity of each in predicting past, current, and future populations...

In this activity, students' will record the sound waveform of a tuning fork and analyze the waveform to determine frequency, period and amplitude information. They will model the waveform using trigonometric functions.

In this activity, students' will use a motion detector to collect position data showing evenly-spaced jumps in value. They will then model this data using the greatest integer function.

In this activity, students' will use a force sensor and a motion detector to study the relationship between the force applied to a rubber band and the distance to which it stretches. They will then model force versus strech data with a...

Solve general word problems about real-world relationships that can be modeled by linear equations or functions. Students receive immediate feedback and have the opportunity to try questions repeatedly, watch a video, or receive hints.

[Free Registration/Login may be required to access all resource tools.] Given a table of values, determine the type of function being modeled.

A collection of activities where students investigate mathematical modeling. Activities involve different types of functions, how to examine context and decide on a model, and limitations.

Learning to express real-life situations as mathematical functions (models) allows seemingly complex ideas and actions to be broken down into smaller, simpler parts and analyzed. In this section are three types of of those models:...

[Free Registration/Login may be required to access all resource tools.] Students will write, graph, and solve direct variation models for real-world problems. Students examine guided notes, review guided practice, study vocabulary, watch...

In this activity, students take distance readings as they walk in front of a CBR. They apply the properties of a linear function to develop a model for the motion and interpret the values used in the model. Students learn to graph...

In this activity, students create a situation that produces linear behavior by stepping heel to toe and taking distance readings as each step is taken. Students then apply the properties of a linear function to develop a model for motion.

Practice analyzing the end behavior of two functions that model similar real-world relationships, where one function is exponential and the other is polynomial. Students receive immediate feedback and have the opportunity to try...
