Scatter Plot Unit - 9 lesson exit tickets, 2 check assessments, 1 unit project I designed this unit as part of pilot for an 8th grade class. The goal was to give the direct instruction through videos taught by the classroom teacher. The students take notes during the videos (these notes are checked during the check point assessment) and then must pass the exit ticket to move on to the next lesson. This allows for self-paced learning (a deadline for the final project is given), small group work
Take on the role of an NBA team's general manager. Create a scatter plot comparing salary and wins. Using the trend line equation make predictions about the number of games teams will win at different salary amounts.
Probability task cards - cut out the cards, have students place them into one of 5 categories (Certain, Likely, 50/50, Unlikely, No Chance) based on how probable the event will occur to them today.
