Our Algebra 1 classes had fun with Barbie Bungee while calculating a line of best fit. They dropped Barbie each time they added a rubber band, measured her distance bungeed, then used their data and graphing calculator to determine a linear regression equation to fit their data. They used their regression line to determine number of rubber bands needed to give Barbie a most thrilling bungee from the lobby of our new gym. This was a great way to wrap up Unit 4 on Linear Equations. Thanks to all students who worked so hard on this project.
