Linear Patterns in Data

Starting statisticians work with several sets of data, all of which involve two variables taken from the same subjects. They complete two-way tables and compute relative frequencies. Although the handouts are not visually appealing,...

Scholars solve 24 various types of problems that include defining Hooke's Law, conducting an experiment, and exploring rate of change. They create a scatter plot to show the data for the number and the distance from the table to the top....

Young mathematicians construct and analyze patterns of association in bivariate data using scatter plots and linear models. The sixth chapter of a 10-part eighth grade workbook series then prompts class members to construct and interpret...

Practice using linear models to answer a question of interest. The 12th installment of a 16-part module combines many of the skills from previous lessons. It has scholars draw scatter plots and trend lines, develop linear models, and...

With this resource, high schoolers solve 17 types of problems related to the transformation of linear functions. First, they define parent function and determine how other linear functions compare to the parent function. Then, pupils...

Statistics is made approachable, and dare we say fun, in this activity on using box-and-whisker plots to analyze and compare data sets. Specific emphasis is placed on interpretations and explanations while graphing, and in using the...

Your young investigative scientists will enjoy helping Ian analyze the minerals he found while they learn about patterns of association in bivariate data. The data shows a linear pattern that your learners will discover and the linear...

Using a carousel activity, class members gain an understanding of the idea of inferences by using pictures then connecting them to mathematics. Groups discuss their individual problems prior to sharing them with the entire class. The...

Statistics come front and center in this unit all about analyzing discrete data. Real-world situations yield data sets that the class then uses to tease out connections and conclusions. Beginning with the basic histogram and...

Pre-algebra protégés critique a graph depicting Tom's trip to the bus stop. They work together to match descriptive cards to distance-time graph cards and data table cards, all of which are provided for you so you can make copies for...
