Shake It Up with Scatterplots
Students identify how to use a scatterplot to compare two sets of data to determine if they are related. Then they identify and describe the definition of regression line (the "line of best fit"). Students also identify how scientists...

Weather Plots
Students investigate the relationship between temperature and humidity. The graphs of weather data gathered and plotted for for an assigned period of time are analyzed and the interpretations shared with the class.
Curated OER
Irst-quadrant Grids
In this math instructional activity, students examine six first-quadrant grids. Students may plot different points on each grid or describe points for a partner to plot.
Curated OER
Plotting Coordinates
In this coordinates worksheet, students plot sets of coordinates, connected them and creating letters. A reference web site is given for additional activities.
Curated OER
First-Quadrant Grids
In this math worksheet, learners analyze six first-quadrant grids. Students use the grids for a variety of activities, including plotting points.

Plotting with Pennies
Fifth graders use pennies to gather data, organize and order data, graph the data on a stem-and-leaf plot, and evaluate the range, median, and mode of the data.
Curated OER
Scatterplots and Regressions
For this scatterplots and regressions worksheet, students solve 6 different types of problems related to graphing scatterplots and interpreting regressions. First, they create a scatterplot from the given data coordinates and then,...

X & Y Coordinates
Students identify and plot points. In this graphing lesson, students use an X and Y coordinate grid to locate missing spacecraft on a coordinate grid sheet.
Curated OER
Grids
In this geometry worksheet, students plot and label 8 sets of points and triangles on a grid using coordinate pairs. They use both positive and negative numbers.
