Students solve equations dealing with best fit lines. In this algebra lesson, students solve problems by analyzing data from a scatterplot, and define it as positive, negative or no correlation. They classify slopes the same way as...

Students analyze graphs. In this algebra lesson, students find the line of best fit, using scatter plots. They calculate the sale of popcorn as it relates to the price. They then analyze the graphs for positive, negative and no correlation.

An inquiry-based algebra lesson explores real-world applications of linear functions. Scholars investigate four different situations that can be modeled by linear functions, identifying the rate of change, as well as the...

Students identify the line of best fit. In this statistics lesson, students analyze graphs and plots to identify positive, negative or no correlation. They find the line of best fit for different scatter plots.

Students locate an area of marsh and, by measuring the total number of individual plants in a sample area, determine whether purple loosestrife population density is correlated to the total plant diversity of the community. They...

Student apply linear relationships to the real world. They use Ken and Barbie dolls and experiment to find the line of best fit. They collect data, analyze data, and make predictions from it. The students also use Microsoft Power Point...

In this algebra worksheet,students rewrite word problems using algebraic expressions. They collect data and plot their findings on the graph and analyze it. There is an answer key for this worksheet.

Students read about the changes in the "new money" and then create a graph to represent various combinations of currency produced.

Students analyze the pros and cons of completing a 4 year school. In this statistics lesson, students complete surveys and use E-STAT to graph their data. They learn to plot and build diagrams.
