In this scatterplots worksheet, students construct a scatter plot from a given data set. Students then answer 4 questions regarding the least-squares regression line and making predictions.

Students evaluate equations and identify graphs. In this statistics instructional activity, students identify plotted points on a coordinate plane as having a positive, negative or no correlation. They complete basic surveys, plot their...

Is there a correlation between the number of cats you own and your age? Use a scatter plot to analyze these correlation questions. Learners plot data and look for positive, negative, or no correlation, then create stem-and-leaf plots to...

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...

The task? Determine the how effective hospitals are at reducing the rate of hospital-acquired infections. The method? Data analysis! Using an open source software program, individuals use provided data and create scatterplots to look for...

Psychologists use statistics? Scholars investigate the research behind the methodology of statistical analysis. Using hands-on practice, case-studies, and scatterplots, they complete various tasks to understand the very roots of high...

In need of some algebraic fun with real world implications?Learners use ordered pairs, a table of values and a scatter plot to evaluate the validity of several real world data sets. The class focuses on  dog ages in human...

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...

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...

High schoolers determine the linear equations of the density of water and oil by collecting data on the mass of various volumes of each liquid. They construct scatter plots from the data and use these to write the linear equations for...

Investigate the Remainder Theorem in this algebra lesson. Explore the relationship between the remainders of polynomial division and the function. Each of the four problems gets progressively more complicated. This might be a great...

High schoolers model quadratic and linear equations. In this algebra instructional activity, students solve word problems using equations. They create scatter plots and make predictions using correlations.

How does radiation affect our daily lives? Answer that question and others with a lesson that discusses radiation and its use in thermal energy transfer through electromagnetic waves. Pupils investigate vaporization and...

How much time does it take to jump over three balloons? Pupils calculate the speed of tasks that require different motions. They determine motions for tasks such as walking, skipping, hopping, and jumping before creating a...

Assist your class with correctly calculating the values for force, work, and power as they determine the amount various activities require. They gather data and participate in a group discussion to compare results upon conclusion of the...

Energy is just energy, right? Explain various forms of energy to your young scientists by using an interactive experiment that contains common objects to demonstrate complex concepts. Pupils conduct experiments for radiant, thermal,...

True or false — Double Stuf Oreos always contain twice as much cream as regular Oreos. Scholars first measure the masses of the filling in regular Oreos and Double Stuf Oreos to generate a class set of data. They use hypothesis testing...

Turn up the heat! Young mathematicians develop models to represent different climates and collect temperature data. They analyze the data with regression and residual applications. Using that information, they make conclusions about...

Young scholars analyze patterns of exponential models by collecting data in paper folding and M&M investigations. They use graphing calculators to create scatter plots that lead to equations for the exponential models. They then...

High schoolers study the concept of mean values using a data plot. Learners enter the given data in the activity to create their data table. They use the data table to calculate the mean of the snowfall percentage provided in the...

Pupils investigate linear, quadratic, and exponential regressions. They plot sets of data points, determine the regression equation that best fits the data and lastly investigate the coefficient of determination.

Students analyze the number of times each letter in the alphabet is used in the names of the states. In this statistics lesson, students create a stem and leaf plot, box and whisker plot and a histogram to analyze their data.

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.

Students explore the concept of statistical data. In this statistical data lesson, students read an article about the dangers of peanut butter to those who are allergic. Students perform a taste test of two different brands of peanut...
