Scatterplots: Estimating the Line of Best Fit Mathematics Instructional Plan
Students view a screenshot of different times throughout the day and remaining cell phone battery percentages. After creating a scatterplot to display the data, students can make inferences and draw conclusions.
In this resources, students are provided with data of animals weight and brain size. Students use the graph available on Desmos to plot the data to create a scatter plot. From the graph, students are encouraged to notice outliers and write an equation for a line of best fit.
This lesson has students complete a basketball activity and then use the data from the activity to create a scatterplot. Once they create their scatterplot they determine correlation and draw a line of best fit.
