1. The document outlines a mathematics lesson plan on correlation and regression for high school students.
2. It introduces the concepts of correlation, scatter diagrams, and lines of best fit. Positive and negative correlation are discussed.
3. Students work in groups to generate lines of best fit from bivariate data, find the equations, and use them to predict variable values. They present their results.

ACTIVITY STAGE TEACHER ACTIVITY STUDENT ACTIVITY CORE POINTS
Introduction Teacherprovides
studentswithtwo
groupsof data and asks
studentstodistinguish
betweenthe twosetsof
data.
Teacherthen
introducesthe lesson.
Studentsmayrespond
by saying:
1. One of the data
ispresentedin
a table and the
otheris not.
2. One of the data
consistsof only
one variable
but the other
containstwo
variables.
A univariable
distributioncontains
onlyone variable buta
bivariable datacontains

Main activity Teacherasks questions
on whatthe two setsof
data presentedearlier
can be usedfor.
Teacherexplainswhat
each of the two data
setscan be usedfor.

Studentsare expected
to bringout theirviews
on correlation, typesof
correlation,scatter
plotsand the line of
regression.
Studentscalculate
meansof the variables
A univariable
distributioncanbe used
to findthe mean,

A bivariable distribution
isusedto show the
relationshipbetween
twovariables.
Correlation referstothe
degree of linear
relationshipbetween
twovariables.
The typesof correlation
