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

Plotting Pairs of Coordinate Points in All Four Quadrants to Construct Lines
Your young graphers are motivated by watching three Cyberchase videos to plot points in all four quadrants, connect pairs of points to make a line segment, and find the point of intersection of two lines.

Plotting Points
Eighth graders practice plotting points on a coordinate plane. As a class, they create and label the parts of a graph. Given ordered pairs, they plot the points, connect them to reveal a particular shape, and find the area of the shape.
