Scatter Plots: Correlation WORKSHEET
Suitable for Grades: 8th Grade, Algebra I
CCSS: 8.SP.A.1, HSS.ID.B.6
CCSS Description: Construct and interpret scatter plots for bivariate measurement data to investigate patterns of association between two quantities. Describe patterns such as clustering, outliers, positive or negative association, linear association, and nonlinear association.
Represent data on two quantitative variables on a scatter plot, and describe how the variables are related. a. Fit a function to the data; use functions fitted to data to solve problems in the context of the data. Use given functions or choose a function suggested by the context. Emphasize linear, quadratic, and exponential models. b. Informally assess the fit of a function by plotting and analyzing residuals. c. Fit a linear function for a scatter plot that suggests a linear association.

Scatter Plots: Correlation WORKSHEET DESCRIPTION
Use this worksheet alongside Constructing and Interpreting Scatter Plots and Scatter Plots: Line of Best Fit. This worksheet is designed to help learners consolidate the concept of correlation.
Sections A and B require learners to match the scatter plots with the type and strength of correlation.
Section C then asks learners to match scatter plots with given contexts.
Section D then asks learners to sketch possible points to show the correlation for given axes labels.
Section E then asks learners to complete a tick box for the contexts of the variables and the type of correlation.
