4/4 Lesson 7.3.1 Using Equations to Make Predictions

1.  Warm-up:  Examine the situation described below and answer the question that follows



To prepare for a 30-mile ride for charity, Aurélie has been biking every weekend.  To predict how

long the charity event will take her to complete, Aurélie has been keeping track of her time and distances.  She tries to ride at a constant pace, but of course that is not easy to do. 

Question: How would you use this data to predict how long it will take Aurélie to bike 30 miles?  Explain your method in detail.



2.  Lesson 7.3.1 Using Equations to Make Predictions

  • Objective:  I will write equations (in y = mx + b form) that model a set of data.  I will use this equation to make further predictions.
  • Problems 87 through 90 in teams
    • Use the student eTool on problem 87
  • You MAY use Desmos to construct your scatter plots
  • The Learning Log (problem 90) is important and is assigned for homework if not completed in class

Homework:  Lesson 7.3.1 #91-94
