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...

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 explore the concept of linear regression. In this linear regression lesson plan, students do a Barbie bungee activity where they collect linear data. Students plot their data using a scatter plot. Students determine a line of...

Students work with data about commercial fishing ofsalmon in Alaska. Students gather data, graph it, and analyze it.

You may be able to see patterns visually, but mathematics quantifies them. Here learners find correlation in scatterplots and write equations to represent that relationship. They fit a line to the data, find two points on the line, and...

Students view a video clip about unemployment. They research data and create a scatter plot graph. They discover the importance of graphs and what they can tell us. They create their own publication on unemployment.

Middle and high schoolers explore the concept of linear modelling.  In this linear modelling activity, pupils find the line of best fit for life expectancy data of Canadians. They compare life expectancies of men and women, and find...

Eleventh graders explore how data reported by country agencies can mislead the public intentionally or unintentionally. In this Cross Curricular activity, 11th graders analyze charts and graphs in order to draw conclusions. Students...

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...

In this statistics worksheet, students explore five activities that require analysis and interpretation of maps, charts, and scatter plots.  The six page lesson includes five activities or experiments with short answer...

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...

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.

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.

High schoolers work together in groups to collect data in relationship to how much water marbles can displace. After the experiment, they use the data to identify the linear equation to determine the best-fit line. They use the...
