In this activity, students find lines of best fit to model Olympic data.

[Free Registration/Login may be required to access all resource tools.] In this tutorial, students learn how to interpret data through the use of a scatter plot.

This lesson plan asks middle schoolers to create a survey project including graphs, questions, tables, and data analysis. It gives an assessment and ideas for remediation and extension as well as ways to manage behavior problems and...

This site from The Franklin Institute explores how to make a simple graph using a spreadsheet to portray survey data. It also gives a set of interesting sports-related web sites so that students can get statistical inforamtion.

A tutorial on how to find the line of best fit or least-squares regression line for a set of data in a scatter plot using different methods and calculations.

Students estimate the ages of famous people, then create a scatterplot with the actual ages. This activity allows them to estimate with linear equations. You can access the age data through the "activity" link.

Students will create data displays using a scatter plot and a line graph of the data and a circle graph of survey data.

Practice creating bar graphs (bar charts) from data sets. Students receive immediate feedback and have the opportunity to try questions repeatedly, watch a video or receive hints.

In this Spreadsheets Across the Curriculum activity, students calculate the average rate of change and graph a scatter plot of status high school dropout rate for 1975-2002. The module combines interpretation of rate of change in the...

In this activity, young scholars follow in Galileo's footsteps as they examine the nature of sunspot cycles, define solar minimum and solar maximum, and graph data for a solar cycle. Then they will predict the next solar maximum and when...

A guide to support parents as they work with their students in collecting and displaying data.

Download these free worksheets to sharpen your skills with statistics and probability. Sheets focus on collecting and organizing data, measures of central tendency (mean, median, mode, and range), and probability.

Dive into this introduction to graphing in the coordinate plane, and meet a chameleon named Sam. Sam will help guide you through graphing points on a line, using negative numbers, and graphing points in the coordinate plane.

Students sketch the line that best approximates the data in a scatter plot. The scatter plot is available in PDF format.

A comprehensive guide for learning all about linear graphs with definitions, properties, their equations, how to plot or analyze them, solved examples, and practice questions.

The purpose of this task is for students to measure lengths to the nearest eighth and quarter-inch and to record that information in a line plot. Aligns with 4.MD.B.4 and CCSS.Math.Content.3.MD.B.4 Generate measurement data by measuring...

Students will work in groups to measure the perimeter of items around the school. They will record their data on a spreadsheet in the form of a line plot.

Investigate the relationship among humidity, air temperature, and the heat index while learning about modeling data, evaluating functions, and describing the end behavior of a function. Students will use graphing calculator technology to...

Students will explore the data on boat registrations and manatee deaths in Florida. They will use the data, the graph of the data and the line of best fit to make predictions about the relationship of the data.

This task looks at a possible relationship between the weight of an animal's body and the weight of its brain. Students make a scatter plot of data, look for outliers, make a second scatter plot without the outliers, and describe the...

[Free Registration/Login may be required to access all resource tools.] In this lesson students draw a scatter plot of data, find and draw the function that best fits that data, and make predictions from that information. Students watch...

Students perform an experiment that simulates a leaking pipe and gather data on volume of water lost over time. They graph the data collected as a scatter plot, find the equation of the line of best fit, find the total volume of water...

This task looks at how long it takes for a laptop battery to fully charge. Students make a scatter plot of data, draw a 'line of best fit,' and predict the time it will take to reach a full charge. Aligns with 8.SP.A.2.
