Black Out
Students collect and analyze data. In this statistics lesson plan, students plot their data on a coordinate plane and find the line of best fit. They calculate the linear regression using the data.
Curated OER
Graphing Scatterplots
Students examine scatterplots and determine the equation of a line using the slope-intercept method. Students interpret graphs, draw inferences, and sketch a curve of best fit for the graph. Based upon patterns in the graphs, students...
