Scatter diagrams
This task assesses understanding of scatter diagrams and lines of best fit. A scatter diagram is presented that shows the scores achieved in two tests.
The task involves plotting a point to show the average score for each test, drawing a line of best fit, and then assessing five statements about the scatter diagram.
This task is from the Mathematics Assessment Resource Service, a collaboration between UC Berkeley and the Shell Centre team at the University of Nottingham. A full rubric is given for the task, together with examples of student work and suggestions for helping students overcome misconceptions. Further information on the collection is given here.
