Modeling Application Directions<\/h2>\r\n

Pick a situation<\/h3>\r\nFind a situation in your home, school, or work life that you can model using the strategies that you learned in this unit.\u00a0Consider situations related to collections of things, construction projects, sales and revenue, or populations.\r\n

Model the situation<\/h3>\r\nUse the methods\u00a0learned in this section\u00a0to model your situation.\u00a0 The better you use the appropriate strategies to appropriately model the situation, the more points you will earn.\r\n

Present the situation and your model to the others in the class<\/h3>\r\nPost a message in the application discussion forum for this unit.\u00a0 In your message, describe the situation and how you modeled it.\u00a0 Use the equation editor as necessary to show the related equations and any calculations you used.\u00a0 The better you communicate, the more points you will earn.\u00a0 If you enjoy and know how to use multimedia, such as video, audio, and graphics, you may use those as well, but this is not required.\r\n

View and respond to the models submitted by your classmates<\/h3>\r\nPick two of your classmates\u2019 applications that were particularly helpful to you.\u00a0 Write a response to each, explaining in a paragraph or two why their applications helped you better understand the concepts and skills in this section\u00a0or better understand how the mathematics for this section\u00a0could be used outside of class.\r\n\r\n \r\n\r\nCreate a new thread in\u00a0the\u00a0Modeling Application<\/strong>\u00a0forum in the Discussion Board<\/strong> to complete this assignment.\r\n\r\nThis assignment is required and worth up to 20 points.<\/strong>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

Pick a situation<\/h3>\n

Find a situation in your home, school, or work life that you can model using the strategies that you learned in this unit.\u00a0Consider situations related to collections of things, construction projects, sales and revenue, or populations.<\/p>\n

Model the situation<\/h3>\n

Use the methods\u00a0learned in this section\u00a0to model your situation.\u00a0 The better you use the appropriate strategies to appropriately model the situation, the more points you will earn.<\/p>\n

Present the situation and your model to the others in the class<\/h3>\n

Post a message in the application discussion forum for this unit.\u00a0 In your message, describe the situation and how you modeled it.\u00a0 Use the equation editor as necessary to show the related equations and any calculations you used.\u00a0 The better you communicate, the more points you will earn.\u00a0 If you enjoy and know how to use multimedia, such as video, audio, and graphics, you may use those as well, but this is not required.<\/p>\n

View and respond to the models submitted by your classmates<\/h3>\n

Pick two of your classmates\u2019 applications that were particularly helpful to you.\u00a0 Write a response to each, explaining in a paragraph or two why their applications helped you better understand the concepts and skills in this section\u00a0or better understand how the mathematics for this section\u00a0could be used outside of class.<\/p>\n
