Practice making sense of trends in scatter plots. That is, explain what trends mean in terms of real-world quantities. Students receive immediate feedback and have the opportunity to try questions repeatedly, watch a video, or receive...
CK-12 Foundation
Ck 12: Algebra: Fitting Lines to Data
[Free Registration/Login may be required to access all resource tools.] Make a scatter plot of data and find the line of best fit to represent that data.
Khan Academy
Khan Academy: Fitting Quadratic and Exponential Functions to Scatter Plots
Determine if a quadratic or exponential model fits a data set better, then use the model to make a prediction. Students receive immediate feedback and have the opportunity to try questions repeatedly, watch a video or receive hints.
