Putting Everything Together

Today we took some time to put things together. We've looked at data that shows a positive correlation (stacking cups) and data that shows a negative correlation (drinking from a glass and eating a red vine). We've determined intercept values and discussed why these types of data are discrete rather than continuous. We've looked at why the data only spans Quadrant 1, and can now draw lines of best fit. We've seen that the patterns of change (rate of change) relate to the slope of the line.

We took some time today to write equations to describe the patterns for stacking cups and drinking a liquid. Because student data is somewhat individualized, students came up with different, but similar types of equations. We compared these, and then wrote about our findings.

Tonight's Homework: Complete anything you did not get done in class. (Most students left with very little homework for tonight.)
