A comprehensive guide for learning all about scatter plots with definitions, how to construct and solve them, types of scatter plots, solved examples, and practice questions.

This inquiry is intended to provide students with practice developing investigable questions that need data, and specifically large datasets, to be answered. Click the teacher resources link for teaching guides and student handouts.

Students estimate the ages of famous people, then create a scatterplot with the actual ages. This activity allows them to estimate with linear equations. You can access the age data through the "activity" link.

Students will to organize data from the USA TODAY Snapshot, "Is leisure time really shrinking?," into two scatter plots and determine the quadratic model for each scatter plot. Students will determine if these graphs intersect and learn...

In this activity students will investigate exponential functions and their graphs using real-life data. Students will analyze population data for the United States and create an exponential model for the scatter plot.

This inquiry invites students to investigate human impacts on the environment. Specifically, students will examine the relationship between human population, light pollution, and how brightly celestial objects like stars appear in the...

Using the USA TODAY Infograph, "More students apply early," students will explore scatter plots and independent and dependent variables. Students will determine a best-fit regression model for the real-life data set and then use the...

Provides several graphical representations of multivariate data. This paper explains the graphs such as the scatter plot and several other graphs as well. Site is presented in notes and outline format.

In this Inquiry, students predict the best date to host a lilac blossom festival so that lilacs are in full bloom in the city where students live. Students are introduced to Project Budburst, a citizen science project in which volunteers...

A tutorial on how to find the line of best fit or least-squares regression line for a set of data in a scatter plot using different methods and calculations.

Lesson plan introduces students to stem-and-leaf plots. Many resources are available for student and teachers here.

Students will create a scatter plot for the data in the USA TODAY Snapshot, "Cropland value grows," and identify the independent and dependent variables for the data. The students will find the rate of change for the data and label this...

A scatterplot is a type of data display that shows the relationship between two numerical variables. Each member of the dataset gets plotted as a point whose x-y coordinates relates to its values for the two variables.

A comprehensive guide for learning all about line graphs with definitions, their sections, how to read and create graphs, solved examples, and practice questions.

Students graph a scatter plot, find average rate of change, develop a linear model, find a linear regression and a median/median line for a set of data graphed in a scatter plot and predict profit.

Students will have the opportunity to organize data from the USA TODAY Snapshot "Is leisure time really shrinking?" into two scatter plots and determine the quadratic model for each scatter plot.

Students will work in pairs and will conduct a growth experiment. They will record their answers for 7 to 10 trials. They will make a scatterplot of their data and share their graphs with the class.

In this activity, students find a conversion equation that will calculate the corresponding Celsius temperature for any given Fahrenheit temperature. Students learn to graph scatter plots, analyze and graph linear equations, compute and...

Investigate the relationship among humidity, air temperature, and the heat index while learning about modeling data, evaluating functions, and describing the end behavior of a function. Students will use graphing calculator technology to...

The object of this project is for students to learn how to find univariate and bivariate statistics for sets of data. Also, the students will be able to determine if two sets of data are linearly correlated and to what degree. The...

Students will enjoy this data collection and class analysis experiment involving the time it takes for a hand squeeze to travel around a circle of people. From organizing the activity to collecting the data to making a table and graphing...

In this activity, students examine patterns and use these patterns to try to predict different aspects of an event. They study the statistical patterns for the population of the state of Nevada over a period of hundred years, and predict...

In this activity, students collect the height versus time data of a bouncing ball using the CBR 2. They find the relationship between the bounce number and the bounce height. They learn to graph scatter plots, calculate the maximum value...

Based off of the hit television show NUMB3RS, this lesson, designed for upper-level high school students, has students linearize the data describing the force of a magnet at various distances. While it is assumed students already know...
