Unit 3: Linear Models—understanding linearity in real-world contexts.

Calendar (.doc version)

To help your mind see where the line of best fit should go, take a moment and play with the interactivity found here.

The line of best fit is close to the data. To see this, take a moment and play with the interactivity found here.

To check how well you can guess the line of best fit, try out this interactivity.

To see how the rate (slope) and the starting amount (vertical intercept) relate to the graph of a line, visit and explore this great interactivity.

To see how slope is calculated, visit this interactivity.
