Graph bivariate data using scatter plots and identify possible associations between the variables.
Clarifications:
Essential Understandings
Concrete:
- Locate points on the x-axis and y-axis on an adapted grid (not necessarily numeric).
- Identify a similar distribution when given a choice of three (e.g., when shown a normal distribution, can select a second example of a normal distribution from three choices).
- Understand the following concepts and vocabulary: best fit line, variable, outliers.
- Graph a series of data points on a coordinate grid.
- Identify the associations between the variables using supports (E.g., use a template to determine the correlation, use a pre-made scatter plot transparency and place on top of a given scatter plot to determine associations).

Cluster:
Investigate patterns of association in bivariate data. (Supporting Cluster) :
Clusters should not be sorted from Major to Supporting and then taught in that order. To do so would strip the coherence of the mathematical ideas and miss the opportunity to enhance the major work of the grade with the supporting clusters.
