Teacher's Guide: Mathematics Lesson Plan for the Best Fit Line or Curve

Line or Curve of Best Fit

Learning Goals
1. Students should be able to identify functions and be able to graph them as well.
2. Students must understand the concept of slope and apply it to real-life problems.
3. Students will be able to apply their knowledge of the given formulas (slope-intercept, point-slope) and be able to effectively use them at the right time depending on what data is presented to them.
4. Students will be able to give reasonable estimates when dealing with correlation of data and be able to find a line of best fit for that set of data.
