In this investigation, students take on the role of a meteorologist analyzing rainfall data collected over a period of time. The task requires students to model the relationship between time and rainfall using linear equations, enhancing their understanding of how mathematical concepts can apply to real-world problems, such as weather prediction.

Key Concepts
Patterns: Understanding patterns helps identify relationships in data, such as the linear relationship between time and rainfall.
Relationships: Exploring how one variable affects another, specifically how time influences the amount of rainfall.
Change: Analyzing how rainfall accumulates over time and how it can affect the environment and society.

Related Concepts
Function: The equation of a straight line represents a functional relationship between time and rainfall.
Data Representation: Understanding how to collect, represent, and interpret data through graphs and tables.
Modeling: Using mathematical models to predict future outcomes based on historical data.

Global Context
Scientific and Technical Innovation: This global context involves understanding how scientific data and mathematical modeling can be applied to real-world problems, such as predicting weather patterns and preparing for natural events.

Statement of Inquiry
How can mathematical models, represented by linear equations, help us understand and predict real-world phenomena such as rainfall patterns?

This structure emphasizes how mathematical thinking is vital for understanding and managing personal finances, encouraging students to apply their knowledge to everyday contexts.
