In this activity, students' will record motion data for a walker and describe segments of the walker's motion using linear function. They will model the motion data using a piece-wise continuous function assembled from linear functions.

In this activity, students collect information about the stops made, time taken, and distance covered by a train on one of Amtrak's routes. They find a mathematical model that can best track the train. Students understand concepts...

In this activity, students' examine how temperature affects the rate of gas production during a chemical reaction. They measure this rate by recording the pressure variation using a pressure sensor and model the pressure data using a...

In this activity, students use linear functions to model and solve problems in situations with slope and a constant rate of change. They learn to represent situations with variables in expressions, equations, and inequalities and use...

Students learn to use measurements on a real model to develop the concept of slope and linear functions. They use a calculator to explore changing the slopes and Y- intercepts in the slope intercept form Y = MX + B.

In this task, students are shown a table of U.S. population data between 1982 and 1988 and are asked to explore whether linear functions would be appropriate to model relationships within the data. Aligns with F-LE.B.5 and F-LE.A.1.b.

This resource provides a look at linear equations and inequalities, from how to solve them to how to use them as models for word problems, with lots of examples.

This lesson culminates the unit with the Go Public phase of the legacy cycle. In the associated activities, students use linear models to depict Hooke's law as well as Ohm's law. To conclude the lesson, students apply they've learned...

Students are shown two tables of data showing the approximate boiling point of water at different elevations. Both data sets can be modeled by linear functions but with different slopes. When the tables are combined, however, students...

Students will explore linear & quadratic functions to determine how they model the relationship between air temperature & heat index. Once the models are determined students will make predictions about heat index when given a...

Students use a temperature probe to collect data as the warmed probe cools. Students investigate Newton's law of cooling and model cooling data with an exponential function. They fit the data to a mathematical model after analysis.

In this activity, students' will use a pH sensor to record pH versus time data as an antacid tablet neutralizes acid in lemon juice. They will model the pH data with a modified exponential function.

In this task, students are shown a table with linear, quadratic, and exponential functions at various values of x and are asked to match the function type to each data set and explain their reasoning. Aligns with F-LE.A.1.b and F-LE.A.1.c.

For this task, students examine data on the elevation and the minutes into a ride for a tram that is traveling up a mountain and write an equation for the function that models the relationship between the two variables. Aligns with...

In this activity, students can use the motion detector to measure their current height and obtain a mean value. They will use this and earlier data to plot a graph of height versus age. Students will identify the mathematical model that...
