"Great resource for my students. I believe this resource will really help in my middle school math class by giving them a better understanding of the concepts and helping them build more confidence in solving problems."

" I used this as an end of the unit project for Scatter Plots. They had some wicked ideas for relationships."

Description
For this project, students develop their own questions to survey their classmates in order to create three different scatterplots (positive association, negative association, no association). Students will make predictions about how their quantitative variables are related to one another, and then will analyze the data to determine if their predictions were correct.
Download includes student directions, data collection pages, quantitative variable suggestion list, first quadrant graphs, question page, and a grading rubric.

Great resource for my students. I believe this resource will really help in my middle school math class by giving them a better understanding of the concepts and helping them build more confidence in solving problems.
I used this as an end of the unit project for Scatter Plots. They had some wicked ideas for relationships.
This resource worked out wonderfully for our data unit and end of the year project. Even our most reluctant learners were engaged and working hard. Thank you!
My students really enjoyed this end of unit project.
Great resource for my 8th graders! They enjoyed the activity.
A fun project for students to apply their learning about scatter plots!
Students were engaged in creating their own research opportunities through this project.
Great resource!

CCSS8.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.
CCSS8.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.
