This applet allows you to plot up to fifty points and it will display a best fit line and give you the slope of that line.

In this Derive activity, students determine the optimal location for a warehouse so that it is close to the center of a circle that passes through all the outlets of a store in the region.

The mathematics resource assesses students on linear relations. The activity has problems with graphing and analyzing linear relations. Some of the topics included are variation, scatter plots and linear relationships. The worksheet has...

Based off of the hit television show NUMB3RS, this lesson introduces students to lines of best fit and their applications. While the extensions delve into correlation, the main lesson focuses only on collecting data, creating a...

Based off of the hit television show NUMB3RS, this lesson has students create data points from given information, plot those points, and then create a line of best fit. This is done in the context of playing blackjack, although the...

Based off of the hit television show NUMB3RS, this lesson has students try to discover if there has been a significant change in cell phone use over the course of ten days. If so, this "change point" can be detected by creating a line of...

This task looks at how long it takes for a laptop battery to fully charge. Students make a scatter plot of data, draw a 'line of best fit,' and predict the time it will take to reach a full charge. Aligns with 8.SP.A.2.

Students are introduced to correlation between two variables and the line of best fit.

Students sketch the line that best approximates the data in a scatter plot. The scatter plot is available in PDF format.

Students sketch the line that best approximates the data in a scatter plot. The scatter plot is available in PDF format.

Students will understand key concepts of data analysis and their graphic representations. Students will construct and interpret data tables, line plots, box-and-whisker plots and stem-and-leaf plots, scatterplots with line of best fit,...

Students compare their own hand/foot span to Shaquille O'Neal's, then graph the data & construct a best-fit line. They can then use the information to investigate the proportionality of the human body.

Young scholars are introduced to the "Walk the Line" challenge question. They are asked to write journal responses to the question and brainstorm what information they need to answer the question. Ideas are shared with the class (or in...

Explains, with examples, what scatter plots are and how to interpret the data. Discusses trends, interpolation and extrapolation, and correlation. Includes a set of practice questions.

Five problems present practice using data to write equations and linear models. They are given with each step to the solution cleverly revealed one at a time. You can work each step of the problem then click the "View Solution" button to...
