Determining the curve of best fit for quadratic functions and modelsMathematics Instructional Plans (MIPs) help teachers align instruction with the Mathematics Standards of Learning (SOL) by providing examples of how the knowledge, skills and processes found in the SOL and curriculum framework can be presented to students in the classroom.

In Zombie Attack, students will organize, display and analyze data to solve practical problems using models of exponential functions. Learners will use knowledge of transformations to write an equation, given the table and graph of an exponential function. In doing so, students will form connections between multiple representations of exponential functions for analysis, interpretation, and prediction.
