Baseball Relationships - Using Scatter Plots

Don't just dip your toe in ... place a foot into the investigation of heights. The class collects the foot length and height of each member before creating a scatter plot of the data and estimating a best fit line. Using a graphing...

What do your classes know about statistics? Use a pre-test to determine their background.  Topics include scatter plots and lines of best fit, two-way frequency tables, and modeling with linear equations.

Scholars learn to create scatter plots and investigate any relationships that exists between the variables with a instructional activity that also show them that statistical relationships do not necessarily indicate a cause-and-effect...

More than just data, scatter plots are full of information that can be used to answer a variety of questions. This lesson uses a plot with information about bird egg sizes to answer questions about the relationship between length and...

Class members investigate relationships between two variables in the seventh installment of a 16-part module that teaches scholars how to find and describe patterns in scatter plots. Young mathematicians consider linear/nonlinear...

Scatter plots tell a story about the data — you just need to be able to read it! Building from the previous lesson in the series where learners created scatter plots, they now learn how to find associations in those scatter plots. They...

What's my line, anyway? A video covers the aspects of finding an equation of the best-fit line for a set of data. It works through plotting the points to drawing a line that appears to represent the data. The presenter suggests finding...

What is the relationship between two variables? Groups work together to gather data on arm spans and height. Using the interactive, learners plot the bivariate data, labeling the axes and the graph. The resource allows scholars to create...

Scatter plots are a great way to connect data with a visual model. Learners look at wages earned depending on education level and determine if there is a correlation between the two. The worksheet includes short answers they must discuss...

Introduce the concept of a correlation coefficient using an interactive lesson. Learners begin by manipulating a correlation coefficient and watching a graph change to represent the new value. Questions help strengthen their...
