Gather, find, or create data that is related to engineering and is relevant to students and that can be modeled with alinearfunction. Develop a Mathematical Modeling assignment item to address one or more Unit 4 Skills and Knowledge S10S16. Create an Excelspreadsheet exemplar to use as an Answer Key (for peer review). Then add the new Mathematical Modeling assignment to your LMS course to be administered to students, as appropriate. Include a peer review as part of the assignment. You may want to add a rubric to help students focus on important aspects of the assignment and provide effective feedback. Upload the spreadsheet answer key to your teacher resources.

S10 Use a spreadsheet program to graph bi-variate data and determine an appropriate mathematical model using regression analysis.

S11 Construct a scatter plot to display bi-variate data, investigate patterns of association, and represent the association with a mathematical model (linear equation) when appropriate.

S12 Solve equations for unknown quantities by determining appropriate substitutions for variables and manipulating the equations.

S13 Use function notation to evaluate a function for inputs in its domain and interpret statements that use function notation in terms of a context.

S14 Build a function that describes a relationship between two quantities given a graph, a description of a relationship, or two input-output pairs.

S15 Interpret a function to solve problems in the context of the data.

S16 Interpret the slope (rate of change) and the intercept (constant term) of a linear function in the context of data.
