Use this lesson, practice exercise, and teacher resource in planning instruction on scatter plots and line of best fit. In the lessons, you'll find definitions and examples of ways to make a scatter plot, determine correlations, and find...

Three different concepts are examined about scatter plots. Topics featured are collecting data, analyzing scatter plots, and determining a line of "best fit". The lesson has an overview, material, procedures, and evaluation techniques.

An article that discusses what we mean when we talk about clusters in scatter plots. It also includes practice questions that test your knowledge of the topic.

Learn about the points that don't fit the pattern in a scatter plot with this article. Site also includes practice questions to test your knowledge of the topic.

[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 page gives a description of scatter plots along with examples. Also provides explanations and statistics to aid student understanding.

This lesson plan provides a real-world example of using a scatter plot to compare data. It gives an assessment and ideas for remediation, extension as well as ways to manage behavior problems and reluctant learners.

Lesson plan introduces pupils to stem-and-leaf plots. Many resources are available for student and teachers here.

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...

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.

The students will engage in the process of statistical data comparing data using tables and scatterplots. The students will compare data using measures of center (mean and median) and measures of spread (range). This lesson plan can be...

This set contains statistics questions regarding bivariate data: scatter plots, the least-squares regression line, and their interpretation. The student is asked about the meaning of the various strengths and directions of linear...

Apply knowledge of scatter plots to discover the correlation between heartbeats per minute before and after aerobic exercise.

Given scatterplots that represent problem situations, the student will determine if the data has strong vs weak correlation as well as positive, negative, or no correlation.

A comprehensive guide for learning all about line graphs with definitions, their sections, how to read and create graphs, solved examples, and practice questions.

This resource from the United State Geological Survey provides data about San Francisco Bay's water quality. Data is displayed in time series plots, vertical profiles, longitudinal sections, space and time contours, and x-y scatter plots.

This site contains definitions to use in statistics and ways to collect data.

The object of this project is for students to learn how to find univariate and bivariate statistics for sets of data. Also, the students will be able to determine if two sets of data are linearly correlated and to what degree. The...

This introduction to simple linear regression includes graphs and a discussion of extrapolation and interpolation.
