Lesson plans are so much easier to write with all the ideas I get from Lesson Planet. As a student teacher I really appreciate the ideas and experience I can get from other teachers.

Using either data provided or data that has been collected, young mathematicians graph linear functions to best fit their scatterplot. They also analyze their data and make predicitons based on the data. This lesson is intended as a review of linear functions.
Learners identify the line of best fit. In this statistics lesson, students collect and analyze data. They calculate the regression equations and identify the different types of correlation.
Young scholars calculate the equation of the line of best fit. In this statistics lesson, students create scatter plots and find the line of best fit going through their data. They make predictions and draw conclusions.
Seventh graders graph ordered pairs on a coordinate plane. They create a scatterplot. Additionally, they determine the line of best fit and investigate the slope of the line. Multiple resources are provided. An excellent resource!
Students discuss scatter plots then create a class scatter plot using their heart rate at rest and their heart rate after a few minutes of aerobic exercises. Students copy the points plotted as a class and create individual graphs finding the line of best fit.
Learners explore scatter plots. In this linear regression lesson, groups of pupils graph scatter plots and then find the line of best fit. They identify outliers and explain the correlation. Each group summarizes and shares their findings with the class.
Students explore the concept of scatter plots. In this scatter plots lesson, students collect data by simulating a seesaw. Students collect data about distance and weight. Students plot the data on their graphing calculator and find a line of best fit to model the data.
Eighth graders examine the usefulness of a line of best fit by collecting and graphing data, using a graphing calculator to determine the line of best fit, and making a variety of predictions. They watch a video, then design a mathematical model to predict how many rubber bands will be needed to have a water balloon bungee jump a given height without hitting the ground.
Pupils create a scatter plot for bivariate data and find the trend line to describe the correlation for the sports teams. In this scatter plot lesson, students analyze data, make predictions,and use observations about sports data using a scatter plot to find the line of best fit. Pupils explore a website and worksheets to complete the project. Students also write an essay and complete a quiz for assessment.
In this line of best fit activity, students solve and complete 8 different problems that include plotting and creating their own lines of best fit on a graph. First, they study the samples at the top and plot the ordered pairs given on the graph to the right. Then, students respond to the questions that follow using their graph and information to help them.
