Learning Targets
- I can identify bivariate data suitable for a scatterplot. #dok1
- I can construct a scatterplot from given bivariate data. #dok2
- I can describe patterns in a scatterplot as linear, non-linear, or having no association. #dok2
- I can explain how a scatterplot addresses questions of association between two variables. #dok3
- I can interpret associations in data to respond to real-world questions. #dok3
Big Ideas
- Scatterplots help us visually identify and describe relationships between two variables.
- Understanding associations in bivariate data supports informed decision-making in real-world contexts.
Essential Questions
- What information does a scatterplot provide about the relationship between two variables?
- How can you determine if the association between two variables is linear, non-linear, or nonexistent?
- In what ways might scatterplots be useful to address questions in science, business, or everyday life?
- How does interpreting a scatterplot lead to better understanding of real-world situations?
- What patterns in a scatterplot signal a strong relationship between variables?
