What educators are saying

My students enjoyed this hands on activity. It really helped them get a better understanding of this topic.
Also included in
  1. This bundle includes 2 engaging activities where students can apply the skills of plotting points in a scatterplot, making a line of best fit, and finding the slope of the line to find missing data. Fun scenarios of Sasquatch and a crime scene hook kids into learning. Please leave feedback, you ca

Description

Who doesn't love a good mystery?!!!! In this engaging students use a real life scenario to apply scatterplot data of shoe size and height and the line of best fit to capture the correct suspect. This product has lots of great reviews! Many middle school math teachers state this was a great way to review the concept of line of best fit and scatterplots.

Aligned to CCSSM8.SP.A.2 and CCSSM8.SP.A.3

This activity is also available in a bundle at a discounted rate:

to see state-specific standards (only available in the US).
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.
Use the equation of a linear model to solve problems in the context of bivariate measurement data, interpreting the slope and intercept. For example, in a linear model for a biology experiment, interpret a slope of 1.5 cm/hr as meaning that an additional hour of sunlight each day is associated with an additional 1.5 cm in mature plant height.
