Scatter Plots and Trend Lines
Students construct and interpret scatter plots for bivariate measurement data. They informally fit a straight line to data that suggests a linear association.
About This Topic

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.

Interpreting Linear Models
Students interpret the slope and y-intercept of a linear model in the context of the data. They distinguish between correlation and causation in real-world scenarios.
