Lesson 1: Scatter Plots
Duration of Days: 3
Lesson Objective
Students will construct and interpret scatter plots for bivariate measurement data to investigate patterns of association between two quantities.
How are patterns used when comparing two quantities?
cluster
data
linear association
negative association
positive association
no association
outliers
scale
scatter plot
variable
x-axis
y-axis
8.SP.A.1: Construct and interpret scatter plots for bivariate measurement data to investigate patterns of association between two quantities. Describe patterns such as clustering, outliers, positive or negative association, linear association, and nonlinear association.
Students will learn to create and analyze scatter plots to identify relationships between two variables.
Students will practice describing patterns of association and identifying features such as clusters and outliers. (DOK 2)
Confusing positive and negative associations.
Difficulty identifying nonlinear associations from a scatter plot.
