Description

Bring linear functions to life with this engaging real-world regression activity! Students analyze data from a zookeeper monitoring a meerkat population and use the information to model the situation with a linear equation.

In this activity, students will:
• Graph data points and draw a line of regression
• Determine and interpret the slope and y-intercept
• Write the equation of the line
• Use the model to make predictions
• Analyze the domain and range within the context of the situation
• Connect algebraic concepts to a meaningful real-world application

This activity is ideal for Algebra 1 students learning linear functions, regression, slope-intercept form, and function interpretation. It can be used as independent practice, a classwork assignment, a review activity, or a formative assessment.

Topics Covered:
✔ Linear Regression
✔ Slope
✔ Y-Intercept
✔ Writing Linear Equations
✔ Making Predictions from Models
✔ Domain and Range
✔ Real-World Applications of Algebra

CCSSHSF-IF.A.1

Understand that a function from one set (called the domain) to another set (called the range) assigns to each element of the domain exactly one element of the range. If 𝘧 is a function and 𝘹 is an element of its domain, then 𝘧(𝘹) denotes the output of 𝘧 corresponding to the input 𝘹. The graph of 𝘧 is the graph of the equation 𝘺 = 𝘧(𝘹).

CCSSHSF-IF.B.4

For a function that models a relationship between two quantities, interpret key features of graphs and tables in terms of the quantities, and sketch graphs showing key features given a verbal description of the relationship.

CCSSHSF-IF.B.5

Relate the domain of a function to its graph and, where applicable, to the quantitative relationship it describes. For example, if the function 𝘩(𝘯) gives the number of person-hours it takes to assemble 𝘯 engines in a factory, then the positive integers would be an appropriate domain for the function.
