Math Clip Art--Applications of Linear Functions--Business Model 8

Topic

Linear Functions

Description

This math clip art is part of a series illustrating applications of linear functions in business modeling. The image depicts t-shirts with a caption that introduces the concept of limitations in linear models. This encourages critical thinking about the applicability and constraints of mathematical models in real-world scenarios.

Such visual representations are crucial in mathematics education, especially when teaching linear functions. They prompt students to consider the practical implications and potential shortcomings of mathematical models. By incorporating these images into lessons, teachers can foster a more nuanced understanding of linear functions and their real-world applications.

Teacher's Script: Look at this image, class. We've been working with a linear model for our t-shirt business, but now we're considering its limitations. Can you think of any situations where our linear model might not accurately represent the business? What factors might cause the relationship between t-shirts produced and total cost to be non-linear?
