Instructional Ideas

  • Have class members explain their choices

Classroom Considerations

  • The way the task is written, it does not require lines of best fit
  • Students should be familiar with scatter plots and plotting points on them

Pros

  • The resource provides the likely combinations of correct answers for specific scores
  • Includes reflection questions for the teacher about students' performance

Cons

  • Some pupils may get answers correct simply because they correspond with plotted points
