Distance Learning: 2 Quantitative Variables Digital Task Cards: Scatter plots, Models, Functions, Correlation (Common Core Aligned)

These digital task cards are adapted from the printable version of the 2 Quantitative Variables Digital Task Cards: Scatter plots, Models, Functions, Correlation available here.

This product includes 24 task cards created with Google™ Forms:
8 task cards on scatter plots to describe relationships (linear, quadratic, exponential)

4 task cards on interpreting slope and intercept of linear models

8 task cards on assessing the fit of linear models and interpreting residuals

4 task cards on interpreting the correlation coefficient and distinguishing between correlation and causation

These digital task cards are perfect for distance learning, independent work, graded assessments, or practice. This resource includes answer key with feedback, multiple editable features and is easy to share with your students via email, secure course website, or Google™ Classroom. Note that the actual task card is an uneditable image; however, you can edit the response type and options, feedback, answer key, and more. You also get a detailed answer key and as a bonus, you get the answer sheet with the Spirograph-inspired design that comes with the printable version of these task cards.

About the task card border designs:

If you teach mathematics or statistics, there is a good chance that you enjoyed playing with Spirograph as a child. Spirograph is a toy that involves tracing a circle moving around either the inside or outside of a wheel, making beautiful designs. Well, these designs can also be made on a computer with graphing software and some trigonometric functions. Added bonus: no smudged ink or accidentally moving the paper! Although they aren’t statistical per se, these Spirograph-inspired designs are a great opportunity to convey the beauty of mathematics to students.

These cards also feature clip art created by some of your favorite TpT sellers:

This product includes:

This product includes a PDF with:

1) A link to the 24 editable, self-grading digital task cards

2) Detailed instructions on how to access the digital task cards

3) A bonus three-page recording sheet

4) A three-page detailed answer key

Objectives:

1) Practice interpreting a scatterplot representing two quantitative variables.

2) Practice describing the relationship between two variables.

3) Practice fitting a function (e.g., linear, quadratic, exponential) to data.

4) Practice using a scatterplot to choose a function and using functions to solve problems.

5) Practice interpreting linear models.

6) Practice interpreting the correlation coefficient of a linear fit.

7) Practice interpreting and analyzing residual plots.

8) Practice distinguishing between correlation and causation.

Common Core Standards:

HSS.ID.B.6: Represent two quantitative variables on a scatterplot and describe how the variables are related.

HSS.ID.B.6.A: Fit a function to the data; use functions fitted to data to solve problems in the context of data. Use given functions or choose a function suggested by the context. Emphasize linear, quadratic, and exponential models.

HSS.ID.B.6.B: Informally assess the fit of a function by plotting and analyzing residuals.

HSS.ID.B.6.C: Fit a linear function for a scatterplot that suggests a linear association.

HSS.ID.C.7: Interpret the slope (rate of change) and intercept (constant term) of a linear model in the context of data.

HSS.ID.C.8: Compute (using technology) and interpret the correlation coefficient of a linear fit.

HSS.ID.C.9: Distinguish between correlation and causation.
