Integrated Math III · Week 29 · Modeling Project and Capstone
Choosing a Model
Choosing linear, exponential, or other models for real data.
- Students will
- Students decide whether data fit a linear, exponential, or quadratic pattern and predict the next value.
- SEL skill
- Use a feeling of doubt as a signal to test evidence before choosing a model
- What it looks like
- Students use their feelings of doubt as a signal to check evidence before deciding.
- Content focus
- Choosing linear, exponential, or other models
- Format
- Think write pair share
