Lesson: Scatter Plots and Lines of Best Fit Mathematics

In this lesson, we will learn how to draw lines of best fit for a scatter plot and how to use them to interpret and make predictions about the data.

Lesson Plan

Students will be able to

understand how a line of best fit can be used to estimate the relationship between variables,
draw or identify the most appropriate line of best fit for a scatter plot,
identify when data is not correlated enough to have a line of best fit,
identify from a graph whether the values of and in the equation of the line of best fit are positive or negative,
estimate the value of data at a point, using a drawn line of best fit.
