Real world projects excite students to make connections! Students collect and analyze college tuition data to determine the linear, quadratic and/or exponential curve of best fit, and predict future tuition costs. Students will be able to demonstrate their knowledge and understanding of the following skills:

  • Gather accurate data and create a table
  • Graph a scatter plot
  • Find the linear, quadratic, and exponential line/curve of best fit and graph
  • Determine which equation best models the data using the coefficient of determination
  • Predict future tuition costs using the line/curve of best fit function
  • Research background information about each university/college

INCLUDES:

SUCH a great real life project that lets students have the options for choosing what interests them while also practicing some important Algebra skills!!

Real World Math Projects

I am always trying to create or find projects where each students' project will be different than every other students in the class because it is more authentic this way. And of course, I want it to be applicable in the real world! This is not always easy to make because if every student’s project is different, or even has an unlimited number of solutions, checking each one is extremely difficult and time-consuming for the teacher. Well, guess what?!...these projects are authentic.
