Skills
- predict (outcomes from a given set of data using linear, quadratic, and exponential models) #dok2

- analyze (data sets to draw meaningful conclusions) #dok2
Learning Targets
- I can identify whether a linear, quadratic, or exponential model applies to a data set. #dok2
- I can predict future outcomes by applying the appropriate model to a data set. #dok2
- I can explain why a particular model is suitable for a given set of data. #dok3
- I can use model-based predictions to make informed decisions. #dok3
- I can justify my critical judgment about the implications of data trends. #dok3
- I can assess the reasonableness of a model’s predictions within the context provided. #dok3
Big Ideas
- Different mathematical models (linear, quadratic, exponential) can be used to represent and interpret real-world data and inform decision-making.
- Using suitable models to analyze data enables predictions, supports reasoning, and guides making informed, critical judgments.
Essential Questions
- How do I determine which model best represents a set of data?
- What does a chosen model allow me to predict about a situation?
- How can I use mathematical models to make informed decisions based on data?
- What factors should I consider when evaluating the reliability and accuracy of my predictions?
- How do critical judgments about data and models impact real-world outcomes?
