What is the relationship between two variables? Groups work together to gather data on arm spans and height. Using the interactive, learners plot the bivariate data, labeling the axes and the graph. The resource allows scholars to create...

Scatter plots tell a story about the data — you just need to be able to read it! Building from the previous lesson in the series where learners created scatter plots, they now learn how to find associations in those scatter plots....

In this statistics worksheet, 11th graders analyze different scatter plot graphs for positive, negative and no correlation. They graph their data and analyze it using scatter plots.There is 1 question with an answer key.

Scatter plots are a fun way to gather and collect relevant data. The presentation goes through several examples and then describes the different types of correlation. 

Is there a correlation between the number of cats you own and your age? Use a scatter plot to analyze these correlation questions. Learners plot data and look for positive, negative, or no correlation, then create stem-and-leaf plots to...

In this scatter plot worksheet, students examine tables and write a linear equation that matches the table.  Students graph linear equations.  They read scatter plots, determine the trend line, and write a linear equation to...

In this scatter plots worksheet, middle schoolers complete multiple choice questions about scatter plots having to do with money, free throws, exercising, and more. Students complete 8 problems.

In this scatterplot worksheet, 9th graders solve and complete 7 different problems that include defining various scatterplots. First, they use the data plotted on the scatterplot that represent the best prediction. Then, students use the...

Examine different types of graphs as a means for analyzing data. Math scholars identify the type of graph from a series of data displays and then develop questions to match each one. Then, given a scatter plot of height versus age data,...

Introduce the concept of a correlation coefficient using an interactive lesson. Learners begin by manipulating a correlation coefficient and watching a graph change to represent the new value. Questions help strengthen their...

Young statisticians practice creating scatter plots. First, they estimate the age of 14 people. Next, they write down the estimate in a table labeled x. Then write down their actual age in the table labeled y. Using these x and y...

They say a graph is worth a thousand points. The interactive allows users to graph a wide variety of functions and equations. Using the included keyboard or typing directly into the list, learners determine the graph of a function....

For this graphs worksheet, students analyze a bar graph that shows retail prescription drug sales in the U.S. Students complete five problem solving questions about the data on the graph.

Make an estimate by getting in line. The class works with scatter plots and lines of best fit to make an estimate for given values. Pupils determine whether there is a positive or negative correlation and draw a best-fit line. Using the...

In this graphing and analyzing activity, 9th graders first state if each graph represents a linear or nonlinear relationship. Second, they create a difference table for each set of data presented and determine whether it represents a...

Math is all fun and games with this activity! Learners use an activity designed around hula hoops to collect data. They create scatter plots with their data and then analyze the graphs for correlation.

If it's warm, they will come! Learners find a line of best fit to show a relationship between temperature and beach visitors. Previous lessons in the series showed pupils how to create and find associations in scatter plots. Now,...

In this scatter plots and line of best fit instructional activity, students create scatter plots from given sets of data. They answer questions concerning the scatter plot. Students write the equation of a line, identify the type of...

In this scatter plots activity, students solve and complete 4 different problems. First, they use the table shown to model the relation with a scatter plot and trend line and to predict the value of a variable when given the other...

In this scatter plots worksheet, students solve and complete 6 different problems. First, they create a scatter plot to illustrate how weight and height are related and determine their relationship as positive, negative or no relation....

For this linear regression worksheet, students solve fourteen Math Regent Exam questions regarding scatter plots and linear regression.  The solutions are provided.

Many phenomena in life are periodic in nature. A task-based lesson asks scholars to explore one of these phenomena. They collect data showing the sunrise time of a specific location over the period of a year. Using the data, they create...

Are the length and width of birds' eggs related? Young ornathologists use a scatter plot to investigate the relationship between the length and width of eggs for Mallard ducks. They then determine the egg with the greatest...

If you're not right-handed, are you wrong-handed? Young statisticians calculate the percentage of left-handed people using a given data set in the assessment task. They plot data on a scatter plot and consider how the line of best fit...
