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.

According to ancient legend, Dido made a deal with a local ruler to obtain as much land as she could cover with an oxhide. Dido interpreted "cover" in an imaginative way and the land she obtained became the site of the important ancient...

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.

This task asks students to find a linear function that models the relationship between water depth and distance across a channel at water level. After finding the equation, they have to verbalize the meaning of the slope and intercept of...

This lesson introduces students to Activity Center and is intended to help students develop the understanding of how use population information to compute populations, changes and to develop population models to make predictions.

In this activity, students will explore the rebound height of a ball and develop a function that will model the rebound heights for a particular bounce. The model can then be used to predict the height of the ball for any bounce.

In this activity, Students can use a pH sensor to record pH versus base volume data for an acid base titration. They will manually model the curve using a logistic function.

In this activity, students develop models for a light year and compare numbers written in scientific notation and in standard notation.

This activity suggests a number of investigative projects, focusing on athletics and swimming, exploring some of the trends between performances in different sports at the same time in history and in the rate of improvement of records...

Team games like football, hockey, basketball, handball and wheelchair rugby are played on pitches or courts of different sizes with different numbers of players. The density of players on the pitch plays a significant role in determining...

Students evaluate a scatter plot to determine the relationship between two variables. The scatter plot is available in PDF format.

Students evaluate a scatter plot to determine the relationship between two variables. The scatter plot is available in PDF format.

This activity allows students to use real data obtained by them to model quadratic equations. students can use the TI-83 and/or TI-84 and a motion detector to collect their data. The students will then manually fit both quadratic and...

In this activity, students will collect the Women's 5000 meter progression of world record data and find the median - median line and the linear regression for the data. They will investigate the appropriateness of each of the models.

This task models how a drawing can be used to represent a linear equation in one variable. Students are then asked to solve equations using algebraic symbols as well as pictures and to comment on issues they see. They are then asked to...

This comprehensive study guide highlights the main terms and formulas needed to determine the equation of a line. Examples are included.

Build on your understanding of modeling with linear, quadratic and exponential functions to begin to include other function families.

In this activity, students study Hooke's Law. They understand that stretch on a spring is directly proportional to the force applied to the end of the string. Students observe a spring being stretched as candies are added to a cup...

In this activity, students collect both Celsius and Fahrenheit temperature data for several water samples of varying temperatures. They use the data to find a conversion equation that will calculate the Fahrenheit temperature for any...

An analysis of how the volume of various jars impacts the burning time of candles. Data collected will be used to explore modeling, line fitting and linear regression Using graphing calculators.

In this lesson, students can use the CBR ranger to model walking distance over time. They will walk away from the sensor, back towards the sensor and finally away from the sensor over an interval of 10 seconds. The result should be 3...

In this activity, students' will use a motion detector to plot the position versus time graph for a swinging pendulum. They will determine the period of the motion and model the position data using a cosine function.

Students receive data from tossing a ball into the air. They are to graph it, set a window, and analyze the height, how long it was in the air, etc. They then find an equation that models the data.
