Students will create a scatter plot for the data in the USA TODAY Snapshot, "Cropland value grows," and identify the independent and dependent variables for the data. The students will find the rate of change for the data and label this value with appropriate units. Students will determine a linear model to fit the data and then use this model to make predictions.
