Description

Connect algebra to real life in this Graphing Linear, Exponential and Quadratic Functions Regression Project. This project based learning activity is perfect for students to write a linear, quadratic, or exponential equation, graph the scatter plot and function, and analyze the data.

Students collect and analyze college tuition data to determine the linear, quadratic and/or exponential curve of best fit (regression), and predict future tuition costs.

College Trend Project - Students will be able to demonstrate their knowledge and understanding of the following skills:

• Gather accurate data and create a table

• Graph a scatter plot

• Find the linear, quadratic, and exponential line/curve of best fit and graph

• Determine which equation best models the data using the coefficient of determination

• Predict future tuition costs using the line/curve of best fit function

• Research background information about each university/college

This project is 100% editable, including the rubric!

BONUS Calculator Reference Sheets included:

Regression: Coefficient of Determination

Check out the preview to see what skills are covered and more details of this fun project!!!
