Scatter Graphs

By the end of this unit, students will:

1. Understand that a scatter graph is a way to represent data with two variables, typically one on the horizontal (x-axis) and the other on the vertical (y-axis).
2. Recognize that each point on the graph represents a data pair.
3. Plot data points accurately on a scatter graph, with each point representing a pair of values.
4. Identify and describe different types of relationships that may appear on a scatter graph.

Curriculum Alignment: Key Stage 3: Statistics

Describe, interpret, and compare observed distributions of a single variable through appropriate graphical representation involving discrete, continuous, and grouped data; and appropriate measures of central tendency (mean, mode, median) and spread (range, consideration of outliers)
