Scatter Graphs — Interactive Lesson (Ages 11–14)

How far did Sally walk? This 19-slide interactive lesson teaches KS3 students to read and plot scatter graphs using real-life data.

Mastering Scatter Graphs in Year 7–9 Maths

Students learn that scatter graphs compare the relationship between two sets of data, and that they are a useful way of showing paired data. They use and read information from them, and plot simple graphs for a given set of data. Examples include shoe size and height, weight, temperature and ice cream sold, a sponsored walk in which nine children raised money for the miles they walked, and the weight and shoe size of eight students.
