Scatter Graphs and Correlation
Students will plot scatter graphs, identify correlation, and draw lines of best fit.
Key Questions
- What does the correlation in a scatter graph tell us about the relationship between variables?
- Construct a line of best fit on a scatter graph and use it for predictions.
- Differentiate between positive, negative, and no correlation.

5E Model
The 5E Model structures lessons through five phases (Engage, Explore, Explain, Elaborate, and Evaluate), guiding students from curiosity to deep understanding through inquiry-based learning.
unit plannerMath Unit
Plan a multi-week math unit with conceptual coherence: from building number sense and procedural fluency to applying skills in context and developing mathematical reasoning across a connected sequence of lessons.
rubricMath Rubric
Build a math rubric that assesses problem-solving, mathematical reasoning, and communication alongside procedural accuracy, giving students feedback on how they think, not just whether they got the right answer.
