Seventh graders graph ordered pairs on a coordinate plane. They create a scatterplot. Additionally, they determine the line of best fit and investigate the slope of the line. Multiple resources are provided. An excellent resource!

Students are introduced to the concept of scatter plots after reviewing the various types of graphs. In groups, they analyze the type of information one can receive from a scatter plot and identify the relationship between the x and y...

Learners take turns shooting baskets and creating scatterplots based on the data. They create two graphs and look for possible correlation in the data for each graph.

Students use graphing calculators to create scatter plots of given baseball data. They also determine percentages and ratios, slope, y-intercepts, etc. all using baseball data and statistics.

Seventh graders investigate how to make and set up a scatter plot. In this statistics lesson, 7th graders collect data and plot it. They analyze their data and discuss their results.

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.

Learners create a scatter plot for bivariate data and find the trend  line to describe the correlation for the sports teams. In this scatter plot activity, students analyze data, make predictions,and use observations about sports...

Pupils collect and analyze data. For this statistics lesson, learners create a scatter plot from their collected data. They use, tables and graphs to analyze the data and mae decisions.

  Explore the connection between a finite graph, a directed graph, and a matrix. Graph lines and identify the relationship of matrices in real-world scenarios. Then use this information to work with a partner to plan and design a...

How do doctors predict a child's future height? Scholars use one case study to determine the height of a child two years into the future. They graph the given data, determine the line of best fit, and use that to estimate the height in...

How good is the fit? Using an interactive, classmates create a scatter plot of bivariate data and fit their own lines of best fit. The applet allows pupils to display the regression line along with the correlation coefficient. As a final...

Young scholars are introduced to connecting graphing in a coordinate plane to making scatterplots on a graphing calculator. Working in pairs, they connect points plotted to make a sailboat and complete questions on a worksheet as well as...

Students use a stopwatch to collect information for a scatterplot.   In this fastest legs lessons, students collect data through the taking of measurements, create and find a median number. Students develop an equation and...

Students are able to identify the characteristics of a variety of graphs (i.e. bar graph, line graph, pie graph, scatter plot, population pyramids, etc.) They recognize how the type of data to be presented plays a role in choosing the...

Using either data provided or data that has been collected, young mathematicians graph linear functions to best fit their scatterplot. They also analyze their data and make predicitons based on the data. This lesson is intended as a...

Using the TI-Nspire calculator, statisicians identify outliers and their effect on the least-squares regression line. In finding the line of best fit, they determine what points will affect the least squares regressions and what points...

Playing with matches (unlit, of course) becomes an engaging learning experience in this fun instructional unit. Teach pupils how to apply properties of exponential functions to solve problems. They differentiate between quadratic and...

The bounce of a golf ball changes the result in golf, mini golf—and a great math activity. Scholars graph the height of golf ball bounces before finding a line of best fit. They analyze their own data and the results of others to better...

Young scholars analyze data on debt and write an equation. In this statistics lesson, students are given data from different time periods, and are asked to graph and analyze the data. They work in groups, and are assigned different parts...

Students collect and graph data. In this statistics activity, students analyze their plotted data using a scatter plot. They identify lines as having positive, negative or no correlation.

Students determine if there is an associationm in a scatter plot of data. They analyze data through predictios, comparisons, and applications. Students calculate the line of best fit using a graphing calculator. They display data in...

Students identify the parts of an engine using a graph. In this statistics lesson plan, students make a graph from their collected data. They calculate the volume of a cylinder using a line of regression and a scatter...

Using a data collection device to collect data regarding a bouncing ball, students use various features on graphing calculators to experiment with the parameters of the vertex form of the parabola and their effect on the shape of the...

Students collect, graph and analyze data. In this statistics lesson, students use circle, pie, bar and lines to represent data. They analyze the data and make predictions bases on the scatter plots created.
