How do you create a residual plot? Work as a class and in small groups through the activity in order to learn how to build a residual plot. The activity builds upon previous learning on calculating residuals and serves as a precursor to using residuals as way to measure the appropriateness of the fit of a line.

Instructional Ideas
- Create a matching task with scatter plots along with best fit line and associated residual plots; have the class work in pairs to match up the residual plots with the given scatter plots
- Consider having the class develop a spreadsheet with formulas to calculate the residuals
Classroom Considerations
- Lesson 16 of a 20-lesson module
Pros
