📊 Scatter Plot and Best-Fit Model

8.SP.A.1 8.SP.A.2 8.SP.A.3 Submission Required Grading Required

Teams use their cleaned class dataset to build a scatter plot of screen time versus math grade on graph paper or a digital graphing tool, then add an informal line of best fit and write its linear equation. They annotate clustering, possible outliers, direction, and strength of association in their notebooks, then test the model with two prediction scenarios. Each student records one sentence about whether the line is a reasonable model and why.
