Scatter plots tell a story about the data — you just need to be able to read it! Building from the previous lesson in the series where learners created scatter plots, they now learn how to find associations in those scatter plots....

Scatter plots are a fun way to gather and collect relevant data. The presentation goes through several examples and then describes the different types of correlation. 

Is there a correlation between the number of cats you own and your age? Use a scatter plot to analyze these correlation questions. Learners plot data and look for positive, negative, or no correlation, then create stem-and-leaf plots to...

Having more letters in your name helps you get a better grade in your math class—or does it? Learners create scatter plots to organize data. The lesson places emphasis on determining scale and intervals and labeling axis.

You aced the first test, so your score on the second one shouldn't matter, right? Young pupils first draw a best fit line on a provided scatter plot showing test scores for two different tests. They then evaluate five...

Introduce the concept of a correlation coefficient using an interactive lesson. Learners begin by manipulating a correlation coefficient and watching a graph change to represent the new value. Questions help strengthen their...

In this statistics worksheet, 11th graders analyze different scatter plot graphs for positive, negative and no correlation. They graph their data and analyze it using scatter plots.There is 1 question with an answer key.

In this scatter plot worksheet, students examine tables and write a linear equation that matches the table.  Students graph linear equations.  They read scatter plots, determine the trend line, and write a linear equation to...

In this scatterplot worksheet, 9th graders solve and complete 7 different problems that include defining various scatterplots. First, they use the data plotted on the scatterplot that represent the best prediction. Then, students use the...

Make an estimate by getting in line. The class works with scatter plots and lines of best fit to make an estimate for given values. Pupils determine whether there is a positive or negative correlation and draw a best-fit line. Using the...

In this scatter plots and line of best fit worksheet, learners create scatter plots from given sets of data. They answer questions concerning the scatter plot. Students write the equation of a line, identify the type of correlation...

Determine how close the line is to the scatter plot. Clear video instruction shows how to plot a scatter plot and find the best fit line using the linear regression function on a calculator. Pupils use the information from the calculator...

Does the number of calories you eat affect the total time you sleep? Young mathematicians tackle this question by collecting their own data and making comparisons between others in the class through building scatter plots and regression...

Math is all fun and games with this activity! Learners use an activity designed around hula hoops to collect data. They create scatter plots with their data and then analyze the graphs for correlation. 

In this linear regression worksheet, learners solve fourteen Math Regent Exam questions regarding scatter plots and linear regression.  The solutions are provided.

In this scatter plots instructional activity, students solve and complete 4 different problems. First, they use the table shown to model the relation with a scatter plot and trend line and to predict the value of a variable when given...

Are the length and width of birds' eggs related? Young ornathologists use a scatter plot to investigate the relationship between the length and width of eggs for Mallard ducks. They then determine the egg with the greatest...

Don't let a great resource scatter to the winds. Pupils analyze two sets of test scores on a scatter plot. They draw a line of best fit and use it to make predictions about the test scores. They also consider any apparent trends in the...

Creating a definition may be easier than it sounds! Give your classes experience creating their own definition. Scholars examine the meaning of the compact-ness of a scatter plot and create their own definitions based on measurements. 

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...

The more you text, the less you study. Have classes test this hypothesis or another question related to text messages. Using real data, learners use technology to create a scatter plot and calculate a regression line. They create a dot...

Mississippi has both the highest obesity and poverty rate in the US. Does the rest of the data show a correlation between the poverty and obesity rate in a state? Learners tackle this question as they practice their skills of regression....

The data says it's a wrap. Pupils work through four review questions with multiple parts dealing with bivariate data. Questions cover creating and interpreting two-way tables and scatter plots with lines of best fit. Scholars finish up...

In this scatter plot worksheet, learners write an equation for a line that would fit the given scatter plot. They create scatter plots from given information. This two-page worksheet contains eight problems.
