Description
Practice using scatterplots with these six activities. They can be used as bell ringers, exit tickets, homework, or just general practice. Students graph points, interpret data, and look for types of correlation with these practice sheets.
All practice sheets are included as printable PDFs and interactive Google Slides.
6 scatter plot activities are included:
- Test Grades Scatter Plot Practice
- Mountain Temperatures Scatter Plot Practice
- Growing Plants Scatter Plot Practice
- Hair Length Data Collection and Scatter Plot Activity
- Sports and Homework Data Collection and Scatter Plot Activity
- Blank Data Collection and Scatter Plot Template
The first three sheets provide a table of data for students to plot on a scatter plot and then answer questions. The next two sheets provide topics for students to collect data from their classmates and then create a scatter plot. The last sheet is a blank template for collecting data and creating a scatter plot.
Important vocabulary terms included in the work:
Correlation, line of best fit, outlier
Answer Keys for first three scatter plot practice sheets are included. The others ask students to survey classmates to complete, so the answers will vary.
Common Core Standards:
CCSS.Math.Content.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.
CCSS.Math.Content.8.SP.A.2
Know that straight lines are widely used to model relationships between two quantitative variables. For scatter plots that suggest a linear association, informally fit a straight line, and informally assess the model fit by judging the closeness of the data points to the line.
CCSS.Math.Content.HSS.ID.B.6
Represent data on two quantitative variables on a scatter plot, and describe how the variables are related.
