Quadratic Regression
Students will use technology to find quadratic regression equations for given data sets and interpret the results.
Key Questions
- Analyze how quadratic regression differs from linear regression in modeling data.
- Justify the use of a quadratic model over a linear model for specific data patterns.
- Predict the behavior of a system based on its quadratic regression equation.

Planning templates for Mathematics
5E Model
The 5E Model structures lessons through five phases (Engage, Explore, Explain, Elaborate, and Evaluate), guiding students from curiosity to deep understanding through inquiry-based learning.
unit plannerMath Unit
Plan a multi-week math unit with conceptual coherence: from building number sense and procedural fluency to applying skills in context and developing mathematical reasoning across a connected sequence of lessons.
rubricMath Rubric
Build a math rubric that assesses problem-solving, mathematical reasoning, and communication alongside procedural accuracy, giving students feedback on how they think, not just whether they got the right answer.
