Description

This is a lesson on scatter plots based on the computer game Ultimate Epic Battle Simulator. This product includes a 1 page (front and back) paper for students to follow along and a 54 slide Canva Presentation--click the link and go. In the lesson students will watch 6 quick battle simulations between droids and dressers (no blood, it is appropriate for school). Spoiler alert, the dressers win. Students analyze data comparing 5 sets of variables--creating 1 scatter plot and analyzing an additional 4 scatter plots. Graphs 4 and 5 are modeled best with a non-linear function, so a quick introduction to R^2 values is included.

Students will create a scatter plot, sketch the line of best fit, analyze the slope and y-intercept of multiple linear models in the context of the simulation, and explain using R^2 values to select the best model.

This was designed to be used as an introductory lesson with my 7th grade gifted class, 8th grade gifted class, and 9th grade math class covering various elements of scatter plots.

Standards

to see state-specific standards (only available in the US).
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.
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.
Use the equation of a linear model to solve problems in the context of bivariate measurement data, interpreting the slope and intercept. For example, in a linear model for a biology experiment, interpret a slope of 1.5 cm/hr as meaning that an additional hour of sunlight each day is associated with an additional 1.5 cm in mature plant height.
