Texas Instruments: What Is Linear Regression?
In this activity, students will explore finding the line of best fit based on the sum of the squares of the residuals and determine what the linear regression line is.
Texas Instruments
Texas Instruments: A Sweet Drink Adventure 7
Students determine how the temperature of water affects the dissolving time of a sugar cube. They create, interpret and analyze graphs of data, find an equation of the line of best fit, and relate slope to rate of change.
Texas Instruments
Texas Instruments: The Phone Bill Problem
The student is given actual data and asked to find a line of best fit and to give "real world" interpretations of the slope and y-intercept. A great introduction to the 83/84 and its features.

Texas Instruments
Texas Instruments: A Wet Welcome Home Adventure 4
Students perform an experiment that simulates a leaking pipe and gather data on volume of water lost over time. They graph the data collected as a scatter plot, find the equation of the line of best fit, find the total volume of water...
CK-12 Foundation
Ck 12: Algebra: Linear Interpolation and Extrapolation
[Free Registration/Login may be required to access all resource tools.] Use linear interpolation, linear extrapolation, and the line of best fit to make predictions about a data set.
Texas Instruments
Texas Instruments: Linear Functions Modeled by Data
Students submit their own data that can be modeled by a linear function. Students find the line of best fit, and discuss graphs of linear functions.
Texas Instruments
Texas Instruments: Boat Registration and Manatee Deaths in Florida
Students will explore the data on boat registrations and manatee deaths in Florida. They will use the data, the graph of the data and the line of best fit to make predictions about the relationship of the data.
Illustrative Mathematics
Illustrative Mathematics: 8.sp Animal Brains
This task looks at a possible relationship between the weight of an animal's body and the weight of its brain. Students make a scatter plot of data, look for outliers, make a second scatter plot without the outliers, and describe the...
Shodor Education Foundation
Shodor Interactivate: Multiple Linear Regression
Students compare multiple independent variables as predictors of one dependent variable. Students explore correlation and lines of best-fit.
Shodor Education Foundation
Shodor Interactivate: Linear Regression and Correlation
Learners are introduced to correlation between two variables and the line of best fit.
Texas Instruments
Texas Instruments: Math Today for Ti Navigator System: More Students Apply Early
Using the USA TODAY Infograph, "More students apply early," students will explore scatter plots and independent and dependent variables. Students will determine a best-fit regression model for the real-life data set and then use the...

This lesson explains that lines of fit are estimations and may differ.
Texas Instruments
Texas Instruments: Influence and Outliers
In this activity, students will identify outliers that are influential with respect to the least-squares regression line. Students will describe the role of the location of a point relative to the other data in determining whether that...
Texas Instruments
Texas Instruments: What Is a Linear Regression?
In this activity, students create lists of data points, plot them on a graph, and determine the regression equation of the best fitting line. They also understand exactly how the linear regression is determined.
Khan Academy
