8th Grade Data and Graphs

This product is modeled to teach:

• 8.5(D) use a trend line that approximates the linear relationship between bivariate sets of data to make predictions 

• 8.5(C) contrast bivariate sets of data that suggest a linear relationship with bivariate sets of data that do not suggest a linear relationship from a graphical representation 

• 8.11(A) construct a scatterplot and describe the observed data to address questions of association such as linear, nonlinear, and no association between bivariate data

• 8.11(B) determine the mean absolute deviation and use this quantity as a measure of the average distance data are from the mean using a data set of no more than 10 data points

It includes a Scope and Sequence
