Modeling Linear Data
Unit 3
Common Core Says...
The high school standards call on students to practice applying mathematical ways of thinking to real world issues and challenges; they prepare students to think and reason mathematically.
-as stated under Key Points in Mathematics CCSS
Standards for Mathematical Practice
- 1. Make sense of problems and persevere in solving them.
- 3. Construct viable arguments and critique the reasoning of others
- 4. Model with mathematics
- 5. Use appropriate tools strategically
- Fit a Function to Data to Solve Problems (S.ID.6.a, b, c)
- Find a line of best fit
- Predict future events given a function
- Interpret the correlation coefficient of a linear function using technology (S.ID.7 S.ID.8)
- Correlation vs. Causation (S.ID.9)

Common Core Standards
S.ID.6.a Fit a function to the data; use functions fitted to data to solve problems in the context of the data. Use given functions or choose a function suggested by the context. Emphasize linear and exponential models.
S.ID.6.b Informally assess the fit of a function by plotting and analyzing residuals.
S.ID.6.c Fit a linear function for a scatter plot that suggests a linear association.
S.ID.7 Interpret the slope (rate of change) and the intercept (constant term) of a linear model in the context of the data.
S.ID.8 Compute (using technology) and interpret the correlation coefficient of a linear fit.
S.ID.9 Distinguish between correlation and causation.
