Unit Activity: Manipulating and Interpreting Expressions Describing the Benefits of Mathematical Modeling
This activity will help you meet these educational goals:
You will state the benefits of modeling real-world phenomena.
In the previous tasks, you used the structure of expressions to accomplish different tasks:
• In Task 1, you used the structure of a formula for interest to create two different models for calculating interest.
• In Task 2, you rearranged an equation that modeled the flight of a paper ball through the air to reveal important
information.
Think about those two situations as you answer the following questions.
Part A
In the interest task, how did the structure of the formula help you calculate how interest would accrue over four years?
