How technology can make my life easier when graphing

Students will use GeoGebra software to explore the concept of correlation coefficient in graphical images of scatter plots. They will also learn about numerical and qualitative aspects of the correlation coefficient, and then do a matching activity to connect all of these representations of correlation coefficient. They will use an interactive program file in GeoGebra to manipulate the points to create a certain correlation coefficient. Step by step instructions are included to create the graph in GeoGebra and calculate the correlation coefficient "R."
