Function Junction

I use this project with my students at the conclusion of the linear regression unit. I use local weather data and ask them to create a scatter plot, find the line of best fit, find the correlation coefficient, create a residual plot, interpolate and extrapolate data. The answer key is included.

A set of 3 labs from Function Junction. Each lab contains a table, a grid to plot data and follow-up questions to walk students through the linear regression analysis. Questions include equations of the line of best fit, correlation coefficient, residual plots and extrapolating data.

This lab uses angle-angle similarity to indirectly measure objects. By Function Junction.

Students place their "ships" on the cartesian coordinate plane. Guideline for ships are on the worksheet. Students will work in pairs to guess the location of each other's ships. I usually give each student a manilla folder to hide their papers from their opponent.
