Have some fun with functions with a short activity that asks learners to first sort scatter plot in terms of their correlation. They then sort graphs of different types of functions in terms of key features, such as slope.

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....

Students explore the concept of linear regression. In this linear regression lesson, students find the line of best fit for a set of data pertaining to a frog population. Students use their line of best fit to predict the frog population...

Is there a correlation between the number of coffee shops and the amount of crime in a given area? In this quick exercise, your class will examine the data, interpret the results, and discuss their conclusion. Concepts covered include...

Don't keep the resource at an arm's length. A hands-on activity has scholars measure the heights, arm spans, hair lengths, and foot lengths of their classmates. They create scatter plots to determine if there is a correlation between...

High schoolers investigate different types of correlation in this statistics lesson. They identify positive, negative and no correlation as it relates to their data. They then find the line of best fit for the plotted data.

High schoolers collect and graph data. In this statistics lesson, students analyze their plotted data using a scatter plot. They identify lines as having positive, negative or no correlation.

In this statistics worksheet, learners create a scatter plot based on their analysis of data provided form the space shuttle Challenger disaster.  The five page worksheet contains four questions.  Answers are not provided. 

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.

Students determine if there is an associationm in a scatter plot of data. They analyze data through predictios, comparisons, and applications. Students calculate the line of best fit using a graphing calculator. They display data in...

In this equation of a line worksheet, 9th graders solve and complete 4 different multiple choice problems. First, they use the median fit method to determine the equation that most likely represents the line of best fit for the data...

Learners investigate the differences between linear and exponential models.  In this linear and exponential models lesson, students make a table of given data.  Learners determine if the data is linear or exponential by...

In this statistical inquiry worksheet, students analyze and interpret a variety of diagrams such as a scatter plot, bar graph and pie charts. They create tables and other diagrams to support given data. This two-page worksheet contains 3...

Given the price of crude oil, gasoline, and diesel for the past several years, pupils plot the data to determine whether a correlation exists. Learners determine a regression line and predict the price of gasoline and diesel in the...

Decipher the danger of natural disasters. Using researched data, scholars work in groups to create data displays on the number of deaths from different types of natural disasters. They share their graphical representations with the class...

Working in groups, learners research four countries' populations over the past 30 years. Using the data collected, the teams find regression equations that best fit the data. Taking the regression equations, they then make predictions...

In this scatterplots instructional activity, 9th graders solve 18 different types of problems related to scatterplots. First, they represent a two numerical variable on a scatterplot and describe how the data points are distributed....

Ninth graders explore population growth.  In this Algebra I activity, 9th graders conduct an experiment simulating population growth.   Students create a model and relate the results to a real-world situation. ...

High schoolers discuss line graphs and scatter plots and the best situations in which to use them. Using the graphs, they determine the type of correlation between variables on a scatterplot. They create a scatterplot and line graph...

Less is best when looking at residuals. Scholars use an interactive to informally fit a linear regression line to data on a scatter plot. The interactive provides a correct best fit line with residuals and correlation coefficient to...

Don't be dense—use a robust resource. The second installment of a five-part Floaters and Sinkers unit has learners determine the densities of several objects. As part of the activity, they learn the displacement method for finding...

Students investigate different correlations. In this algebra lesson, students analyze graphs and identify the lines as having positive, negative or no correlation. They calculate the line of best fit using a scatter plot.
