Copies of graphs that show correlation and scatter plots (at least three graphs). Seven different correlations that students will use to create scatter plots (along with printed titles of each correlation to post on walls). Lesson Activities Step 1 Literacy Group Questioning Collaborative Group Work Step 2 Assign groups and pass out correlation and scatter plot information. Put students in mixed ability groups of 3. Have the students read aloud in groups (one at a 10 min Assign each student a number in the group. time) and underline important information as they are being read to. The Ones will read to the group through the first graph, the Twos will read to the group through the second graph and the Threes will finish the document. Remind students to underline important data as the graph is being read. As you circulate among the groups, notice what is being underlined. Create a wall chart of features that are important for students to remember. Help students determine characteristics of correlation graphs. Have students generate a list of important data when they finish reading aloud. Have the entire group of students share their findings and generate a word wall. R.Knittle Building Ordered Pairs: From Data Points to Scatter Plots

4 Collaborative Group Work Instruct students to read three correlation graphs and determine three or more important characteristics of them in general. (e.g. positive directions right and up, intervals evenly spaced, labels, independent versus dependent axis, title, origin, etc.) Create another wall chart that lists characteristics of correlation graphs. Have students look at the first three correlation graphs to determine important characteristics and have the students share their findings with the class. Have the students answer: What do you see that makes this correlation graph special, so that you can create your own graph correctly the next time? 10 min Step 3 Writing to Learn Write summaries of correlation graphs.

7 Materials Needed Teachers will need an overhead projector, transparencies, over-head markers, and grid paper for graphing left-hand and right-hand data (one grid for each student). See an example of a grid at Students will need graph paper and colored pencils. Notebooks are essential. Lesson Activities Step 1 Pass out grid paper to students and give them thirty seconds to fill in as many boxes in the first column as they can with their first initial using their right hand. Give students a twenty second break, then Have students fill in the first column of the grid 5 min give them thirty seconds to fill in as many with their first initial using their right hand, and boxes as they can with their left hand in the after a twenty second break, give them thirty second column again writing their first seconds to fill in the second column of the grid initial. with their first initial using their left hand. This may be done as a group activity, but works best without students comparing what they are doing. At the bottom of the paper, have students total the number of right hand initials they formed and the total of left hand initials they formed. Step 2 Gather from the students the tally of the right hand initials each student formed and the tally of the left hand initials each student formed. Create a data table on the board or Have students report their tallies and copy the 5 min overhead projector with three columns: complete data table from the board in their student name, right hand tally, and left notebooks. hand tally. Fill in the information from each student. Creating and Graphing Scatter Plots From Real-World Data

Record the answers on the board or Have the students discuss what they notice about 5 min overhead projector (e.g. more students the data. have higher right hand numbers, some students have equal amounts, some are much higher numbers ). Step 4 Collaborative Group Work Pair students with a partner next to them and have each pair create a scatter plot of the final right hand and left hand tallies. Give students graph paper to design a Have the students create scatter plots of the final 15 Min scatter plot. Encourage students to recall right hand and left hand tallies. the necessary characteristics of a scatter plot and recall how to graph a single ordered pair. To create consistenty across pairs, ask each pair to record the right hand data on the horizontal axis. As well, have the students use axes with the same intervals. Once students have recorded all the data, have them create a special line on their graphs by creating points in a different color where all the right hand data matches the left hand data.

Ask the students the question, What do Have students answer questions in their notebooks. 10 Min you notice? and record answers on the board. Other questions to ask (especially if students are finishing at different times, these can be posted on the board): Connect the points that are a different color. What is significant of these points? What is significant about the points below the line? What is significant about the points above this line?

Distribute activity to the students and have 15 min them work with a partner to produce the graph. Have an overhead of the product, so as students finish, partners go to the overhead to produce a component of the scenario. Have students talk through the picture of the graph, relating a word scenario, and as a peer edits, have them make sure the graph matches the correlation information from earlier in the unit. Help students to see the difference between the two scenarios. Step 2 Questioning Students work with tables and graphs to recognize slope and intercepts. Continue with partner work by having 15 min students see the connection between tables and graphs. Review the concepts from correlation to build further connections. Provide multiple methods of finding slope through constant first difference, making triangles between data points, or change in Have students look for slope and intercepts, making connections between tables, graphs, and slope. Have students share methods of finding slope. Have students fill in missing data from a table, either by finding answer on graph, or through constant differences. Building Slope Concepts

Step 3 Questioning Writing to Learn Lesson Closing Writing to Learn Working from equations, students generate tables as a group of solutions, and then determine the slopes and intercepts. Pass out copies of practice sheet to Have students fill in the table to find various 25 Min students. Have an overhead of the practice solutions to the given equations. As they create the sheet. entire table, have students determine the slope. Have students find the slope by the student using one of the three means previously discussed, and have students find data points as a part of the effort. Looking for fractional answers creates difficult learning. Discuss with students the ideas necessary to find reasonable data points. Have students answer the question at the end of this sheet: What do you notice? Introduce students to the phrase the zeroeth term. Have students find the y-intercept from this term. Have students find other ways to generate slope and y-intercept. Have students answer the question What do you notice?, by seeing slope and y-intercept within the equation when it is solved for Y. Ask students to graph the equations so that they see these five vocabulary words together: equation, table, graph, slope and y-intercept.
