Students explore the relationship between two variables. Students measure their arm span and height. They gather this class data to design a scatter plot. Students interpret the meaning of individual coordinates and the overall graph....

Students graph an equation and analyze the data. In this algebra lesson, students graph scatter plots and identify the line of best fit using positive correlation, negative correlation an d no correlation. They apply their data analysis...

In this Super Bowl instructional activity, students create line plots of all winners and losers of the Super Bowl.  They create stem-and-leaf plots, scatter plots, and bar graphs of football data.  This one-page...

Learners find common ratios of geometric sequences on a spreadsheet. Using this data, they create scatter plots of the sequences to determine how each curve is related to the value of the common ratio. They will consider whether series...

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.

Students 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 apply this...

Students graph an equation and analyze the data. For this algebra lesson, students graph scatter plots and identify the line of best fit using positive correlation, negative correlation an d no correlation. They apply their data analysis...

Adjust this lesson to fit either beginning or more advanced learners. Build a scatter plot, determine appropriate model (linear, quadratic, exponential), and then extend to evaluate the model with residuals. This problem uses real-world...

What does an animal's gestation period have to do with its longevity? Use residuals to determine the prediction errors based upon a least-square regression line. This second lesson on residuals shows how to use residuals to create a...

How well does your garden grow? Model the growth of dahlias with nonlinear functions. In the lesson, scholars build on their understanding of mathematical models with nonlinear models. They look at dahlias growing in compost and...
