Quadratic Functions

Description

Focuses on non-linear growth models using quadratic functions for child growth tracking. Concepts include regression analysis and percentiles. Vocabulary includes growth charts, scatter plots, and quadratic regression. Applications include monitoring development in infants and toddlers.

This video provides an in-depth exploration of quadratic functions and their application in tracking child growth models. By examining non-linear growth patterns and using quadratic regression, this video links mathematical concepts to real-world medical applications, enhancing students' understanding of regression analysis and percentiles.

Teacher’s Script: "This video introduces an important real-world application of quadratic functions. We will see how these functions help model growth patterns and analyze important data. Before watching, think about how data is used in medicine and health tracking. Let’s connect these concepts with the mathematical tools we'll learn."
