Young mathematicians construct and analyze patterns of association in bivariate data using scatter plots and linear models. The sixth chapter of a 10-part eighth grade workbook series then prompts class members to construct and interpret two-way tables.

Instructional Ideas

• Use the worksheets as part of a unit on bivariate data and patterns of association

Classroom Considerations

• Requires a stopwatch for parts of the chapter
• Worksheets include coordinate grids for scatter plots, so you do not need to provide graph paper

Pros

• Tongue twisters are engaging for pupils of all levels
• Symbols indicate where to look for mathematical practices throughout the chapter

Cons

• Unlike other chapters in the workbook, the table of contents does not provide links to directly access each lesson
