Skeeters are used to model linear and exponential population growth in a wonderfully organized lesson plan including teachers' and students' notes, an assignment, graphs, tables, and equations. Filled with constant deep-reaching questions and diagrams, this resource is a great cooperative learning, higher-order thinking, collaborative experience. Your algebra learners will analyze given data and their own experimental data to create graphs, write equations, create tables, and make predictions based on their models.
