I taught in the public schools for many years. When I moved to Japan and began teaching a large ESOL population, I found that I needed more resources and there just aren't "teacher stores" around. Lesson Planet has been a big help with supplemental material.

Students explore the concept of transformations. For this transformations lesson, students enter data into lists and make a scatter plot of points. Students use lists to transform the data points by shifting the points, left and right, or up and down. Students also enlarge and shrink the data points.
Here are a set of graphing lessons that have a real-world business focus. Math skills include creating a scatter plot or line graph, fitting a line to a scatter plot, and making predictions. These lessons are aimed at an algebra 1 level but can be adapted either for middle school or higher levels.
Middle and high schoolers use a spreadsheet to graph data. In this graphing lesson, learners determine how two parameters are correlated. They create a scatter plot graph using a computer spreadsheet.
Students use graphing calculators to create scatter plots of given baseball data. They also determine percentages and ratios, slope, y-intercepts, etc. all using baseball data and statistics.
In this online math instructional activity, young statisticians solve 5 word problems which require them to utilize scatter plots and lines of best fit. This excellent instructional activity allows one to check their answers, and gives "hints," if needed.
Elementary and middle schoolers explore scatter plots. In this graphing lesson, pupils work in small groups and use jigsaw puzzles to develop a scatter plot. Younger students may develop a bar graph.
Students create a scatter plot for bivariate data and find the trend line to describe the correlation for the sports teams. In this scatter plot instructional activity, students analyze data, make predictions,and use observations about sports data using a scatter plot to find the line of best fit. Students explore a website and worksheets to complete the project. Students also write an essay and complete a quiz for assessment.
High schoolers investigate area and perimeter of various shapes. In this area and perimeter of various shapes instructional activity, students record how area of shapes change when a dimension is doubled, halved, quartered, etc. High schoolers make scatter plots of radii v. circumference and radii v. area. Students discuss why the graphs have a linear or quadratic shape. High schoolers make similar graphs for various shapes such as squares and triangles.
Young mathematicians explore the concept of maximizing area and minimizing perimeter in this TI-Nspire lesson. This lesson is broken up into two parts. In the first, one tries to maximize the area while keeping the perimeter constant. In the second, one tries to minimize the perimeter with a fixed area. A scatter plot is used to analyze data.
Students identify the parts of an engine using a graph. In this statistics lesson, students make a graph from their collected data. They calculate the volume of a cylinder using a line of regression and a scatter plot.
