Students loved this project because it involved social media. They had to come up with a question with a numerical answer that people don't know. Ex: What is the average human life span? How old was the oldest sea turtle? How hot is lightning? How many seconds in a year? They then posted that question via Google Forms on social media. They collected the responses and graphed the guess as the independent variable and how far away it was from the actual as the dependent variable. We had amazing absolute value graphs every time! They were surprised. It led to a great discussion. They also had to share pertinent information about the function such as intercepts, translations, domain and range, and the equation of the function.
