Secondary Mathematics I [2011]

S.ID.6b should be focused on situations for which linear models are appropriate.

• Barbie Bungee
  this Illuminations lesson, students model a bungee jump using a Barbie doll and rubber bands. The distance to which the doll will fall is directly proportional to the number of rubber bands, so this context is used to examine linear functions.
• DASL
  DASL (pronounced "dazzle") is an online library of datafiles and stories that illustrate the use of basic statistics methods.
• Interpreting Categorical and Quantitative Data Curriculum Guide
  The Utah State Office of Education (USOE) and educators around the state of Utah developed these guides for the Secondary Mathematics 1 Cluster "Summarize, represent, and interpret data on a single count or measurement variable" / Standards S.ID.1, S.ID.2 and S.ID.3 and Cluster "Summarize, represent, and interpret data on two categorical and quantitative variables" / Standards S.ID.5 and S.ID.6 and Cluster "Interpret linear models" / Standards S.ID.7, S.ID.8 and S.ID.9.
• Modeling Linear Relationships
  Students compare arm span and height in people to learn about proportion. They also use a scatter plot graph to analyze their data.
• Shedding Light on the Subject
  In this lesson, one of a multi-part unit from Illuminations, students explore the development of a mathematical model for the decay of light passing through water, in a rich exploration of exponential models in context. They use an interactive Java applet to explore related algebraic functions.
