Are People Waiting to Get Married?

In this activity, students explore the relation between median age at first marriage and time (number of years since 1960) for men and women. They make predictions, write equations, and reflect on the behavior—and contextual meaning—of graphs and parameters. As the activity closes, students consider whether two lines of fit will help in making long-term predictions. Data source: http://www.infoplease.com/ipa/A0005061.html
