Scatter Diagrams and Line of Best Fit
Constructing and interpreting scatter diagrams to visualize relationships between two variables and drawing lines of best fit.
Key Questions
- How can a scatter diagram help us understand the relationship between two variables?
- Differentiate between positive, negative, and no correlation based on a scatter diagram.
- How do we draw a line of best fit and what does it represent?

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.
