This resource is an interactive activity that helps students analyze and determine whether the plotted data is a linear, quadratic, or exponential function.  If the teacher logs in, a code pops up for students to enter into their own device and student responses are collected and reported.  It would be a great activity to use with iPads.

This activity fosters formal vocabulary development of linear equations.  At the same time, it solidifies important linear equation concepts such as: slope, intercepts, and also develops good questioning techniques.  Students must ask questions to narrow the field of suspect linear equations down to one.
