Applications of Functions 2.3

The 3rd week of the second grading cycle is already here.  This grading cycle is half-way over and we are on our way to the second half.

This week we apply what we have learned about functions into a lesson called Bungee Warrior.  We will use different figures to calculate a scatterplot and with that scatterplot we will get our Line of Best Fit.  From there we should all be able to come up with an equation.

Also this week, all 9th graders will take the PSAT on Wednesdady and the Algebra Diagnostic on Friday.  GOOD LUCK!

This is the video we watched on Tuesday 10/11





Here is the lesson: Bungee Warrioir
