This resource can be used as a self-directed worksheets where students use the cheat sheet to access the 8 practice problems. I typically use this as an extention for 8th graders during the scatter plots unit, or for 9th graders. An answer key is provided. Enjoy!

These 8 stations are designed to either introduce or review all the vocabulary related to scatterplots including linear vs non-linear, positive, negative, and no correlation, best fit line, outlier, and so on. The stations are designed for 5 - 8 minute rotations depending on the level of your class. There are a ton of application questions that help teach and remediate the skills require to access scatterplots. Since there are 8 stations, folding a blank piece of paper into 8 sections will allo

The following lessons are included in this bundle: Lesson 1: Intro to Probability with Area ModelsLesson 2: Tree Diagram Model Introduction Lesson 3: Compound Probabilities Lesson 4: "And" vs "Or" Probability Lesson 5: Expected ValueLesson 6: Probability Application via 2-Way Tables The learning targets for each lesson are in the preview file and linked in this document. An assessment is included as a bonus file - I used it as a pre and post assessment in order to measure growth! The lessons we

This 5 day bundle introduces two way frequency tables, joint and marginal relative frequency, as well as conditional relative frequency. Guided notes, practice problems, and a project is included. The notes are scaffolded and the practice problems help students to solidify the concepts. Stations and a review activity is also provided, as well as a 10 question quiz. A pacing guide is given, but you may also reorganize the lessons if you please. This thorough 5-day bundle helps students to access

This resource contains guided notes on calculating conditional relative frequency for a two-way frequency table that presents interesting information for students. The guided notes are followed by 8 stations with a recording sheet, that asks students questions about conditional frequencies as well as joint and marginal frequencies for review purposes. These stations can be used the same day as the guided notes, or on another day for review. Also included is an exit ticket that focuses on conditi

Middle Schoolers love to talk about themselves! This lesson introduces a claim that there is a positive correlation between the day of the month you are born on and how impulsive you are. Students write down the day of the month they were born on, and take a short quiz to calculate their "impulse" score. They interview each other to gather data, and create a scatterplot of the data. Then, they decide whether the correlation is positive, negative, or not there at all. Different students end up w

This step-by-step project provides students 4 interesting research topics to choose from. This fun project includes a lot of scatterplot skills. From the research topic, the students will extract the 2 variables and decide which is the dependent and which is the independent, make graph scales from the provided data including labels and all, plot the data, decide the correlation and a conclusion, and write an opinion based on their decision. My students loved being able to choose between these di

Inside are 4 extensive problems that include 4 interesting questions to introduce plotting scatterpoint data. Students must extract variables from the question, decide the independent and dependent variable, then plot the data on a graph. The data points are provided. The students will encounter real world examples of positive correlation, negative correlation, and no correlation. They will create an informed opinion to why this correlation exists. Then, they will decide if they are an outlier,

This is a 12 question assessment aligned to the scatter plot and correlation CCSS for Integrated I or Algebra I. Some of the questions are level 1 and 2 blooms (remembering and understanding) in order to collect data on the subskills of the standard. I structured the assessment in Stanford-notes style double column for students to express their thinking/show their work and I always attach a grade according to how visible they made their thinking.
