Lesson 21
Skills for Mathematical Modeling
Lesson Narrative
In the associated Algebra 1 lesson, students are presented with bivariate data in tables and need to decide what type of model to use, create a model, and use the model to make predictions. This lesson gives students an opportunity to practice some discrete skills that are used in this work in a more scaffolded way (MP4).
Learning Goals
Teacher Facing
- Model some given data with a function, and interpret the function, in a scaffolded way.
Student Facing
- Let’s practice our skills for modeling with mathematics.
