  • Title: Analyzing a Data Set Using Linear Models in Desmos

    For your final draft, you will include your revised rough draft components, in addition to the new components, all of which are detailed below.
    Each step below is aligned with steps from the project template.
    Make sure you have accessed the project template and have viewed the Desmos video tutorials before starting this project.
    Select a data set from the provided worksheet, and pull the specific data values as included with the data set. In your report, start with an introduction as to why you chose your data set and also introduce it. Detail the benefits/value of analyzing the data set. (Step 1: Introduction)
    Plot the data on a graph using Desmos (Step 2: Table & Scatterplot)
    Clearly label and select an appropriate scale for the x- and y-axis.  Explain how you determined your scale.
    Include screenshots of your table and graph in your report
    Interpret what the data represents for x = 0, x = negative values, and x = positive values in terms of the situation. (Step 2: Table & Scatterplot)
    Use the table and graph to answer the following questions in your report: (Step 2: Table & Scatterplot)
    Describe the strength of a linear relationship that exists in your scatterplot.
    What can you hypothesize about the variables in the data set?
    Do you feel a linear model equation would be efficient in making predictions within and beyond the provided data?
    Select two points and use them to calculate a linear model (Step 3: Linear Model Calculated by Hand)
    Graph the linear model on the same graph as your plotted data
    Identify the slope, x-intercept, and y-intercept of your calculated linear model.  Interpret what each piece of information means in terms of the situation.
    Include screenshots in your report.
    Calculate a line of best fit using all of the data points using Desmos (Step 4: Line of Best Fit – Desmos)
    Graph the line of best fit on the same graph as your plotted data and calculated linear model (use color-coding to differentiate between the two lines)
    Identify the slope, x-intercept, and y-intercept of the line of best fit.  Interpret what each piece of information means in terms of the situation.
    Include screenshots in your report.
    Use the line of best fit equation and select three data values not included in your data set and determine their corresponding outputs. State your results within your report. (Step 5: Test Values)
    Compare and contrast your calculated linear model with the line of best fit. (Step 6: Conclusion) 
    Which line appears to be a better fit for the data? 
    Identify what, if any, characteristics both lines accurately communicate about the behavior of the data.
    How could you improve the “fit” of the line of best fit?
    Based on your work with these tasks, what cautions would you give someone when making decisions based on linear models?

  • Explaining Slope and Graphing Linear Equations

    Description:
    You are being asked to choose two assigned homework problems and thoroughly explain the concepts included within those problems.
    Instructions:
    Review the work you’ve completed for the chapter. Choose two problems that represent key ideas from the chapter. Your goal is to thoroughly explain the process of solving the problem – completely explaining your thinking throughout the entire problem.
    You may choose any problems from the assigned homework problems except for those that students have presented on. Also, the two problems you choose must be from different sections.
    After explaining the two chosen problems, the final part of this task is to reflect on the learning of the chapter. What was difficult for you? What connections did you make? How well did you persevere through difficult parts? What helped you understand the concepts? What real world applications exist for the concepts within the chapter?
    This learning task is due Saturday of each week. It is worth 25 points. (Ten points for each of the two math problems and 5 points for the reflection piece.)
    PROBLEM 1
    Determine the slope of the line through the given points. If the slope of the line is undefined, so state.
    (1, 2 and  (4, 8)
    problem 2 
    Graph each equation using the x- and y-intercepts.
    x+2y=4
