Scatter Plots and Correlations

In this lesson, students will interpret and analyze data to create a scatter plot and line of best fit. Students will make predictions for the number of views of a video for any given number of weeks on the charts.

The lesson provides suggestions for finding the line of best fit using different technologies to graph, GeoGebra free online software, Excel spreadsheets, and graphing calculators. Teachers can determine which technology will best suit their class or incorporate all three as part of the lesson.
