Common Core Math - Grade 8
Lesson Plan
Construct and interpret scatter plots for bivariate measurement data
Goals / Objectives
Construct a scatter plot from a table of bivariate measurement data by choosing appropriate axes, scales, and plotting ordered pairs
Identify and describe patterns of association between two quantities shown in a scatter plot, including positive association, negative association, and no association
Distinguish between linear association and nonlinear association in a scatter plot
Identify and interpret clusters and outliers in a scatter plot and explain what they suggest about the data
Use the language of association (not correlation) to describe the overall relationship between two variables in a real-world context
