Linear Patterns in Data

What better way to learn about statistics than to take a survey? Engaging students with power of choice, this pre-algebra project offers a meaningful opportunity for young mathematicians to demonstrate their understanding of basic data...

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...

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....

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...

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...

Clever marketers can use visual statistics to mislead their target populations. Explore these visual misrepresentations with a video lesson from a larger statistics playlist. The lesson instructor explains visual representations of both...

The data is a little shady. The resource displays data using shades of colors. Pupils choose data sets about states and view a proportionally shaded map. Using the map display, learners compare different data sets as they relate to the...

Using a map of Canada, pupils analyze given sets of data relative to the provinces and territories. The scholars have access to several data sets, giving them a complete picture. The interactive displays the data in varying shades along...

Examination of a second sample can either confirm or deny an inference about a population. The narrator explains how the first sample can mislead the results and a second sample may be necessary. Use the first video of this series to...
