Scatter graph gram correlation line of best fit Maths Mastery worksheet activity
StewsterthebearStewsterthebear

Scatter graph gram correlation line of best fit Maths Mastery worksheet activity

(0)
Activity designed to give further practice (Maths Mastery) of line of best fit on scatter graphs after initial teaching and practice. Particularly to reinforce what happens when there is no correlation. Twenty seven slides on the PowerPoint. Each slide shows a scatter graph which either has correlation or hasn't. If it has correlation then a line of best fit can be drawn and the degree or strength of the correlation can be suggested (Note that at this level it is a subjective judgement so answers may vary). The graphs are simply ones found using a internet image search, but I've done the work for you to save you the time. There is a matching PowerPoint which has my suggested solutions on. I rearranged the order of the slides on the PowerPoint on the Print version (attached) and then printed out pages 1-6, then 7-12, and so on so that six graphs were on each sheet of A4 (using the handout feature of PowerPoint). This means that you now have four worksheets which are all slightly different so that every student on your tables of four has a different set of questions - hence less copying. The answers to the four sheets I made are attached as a PDF. This is a good activity which did meet the objective of reinforcing the LOBF skills.

Scatter Graphs Discussion Questions Circus Task Collaborative Activity  Maths Mastery Magenta Lesson
StewsterthebearStewsterthebear

Scatter Graphs Discussion Questions Circus Task Collaborative Activity Maths Mastery Magenta Lesson

(1)
A lesson built around the objective: Develop further understanding leading to mastery of scatter graphs. The idea is that after a starter exercise the class move around in tables of four attempting each of the circus activities. Then they are given a written exercise to back it up and then a whole class plenary activity. See the attached lesson plan. The good points noted by an observer of this lesson were: *Collaborative learning in mixed ability groups *Pupils could explain the decisions they made *Use of subject specific vocabulary buy the pupils *Opportunities for Mastery *Use of Magenta Principle - Arrange *Encourage pupils to challenge answers. Not all the resources listed in the plan are located here. Some come from other TES contributors, but as long as you get a collection of activities which each take about the same duration you can set up a good Circus of activities. Starter comes from Scatter Graph Matching Cards by "john_speight" The "Six Cards Discussion" is the attached PPT. This is excellent for prompting discussion. Some of the slides are copied from some other Contributors resources. The True/False is my TES free resource "11307990". This is the activity which has the most discussion The Correlation match posters come from Scatter graphs and best-fit lines by "frickard". This was quite short so needs extra added otherwise this group finishes too quickly. The draw LOBF worksheet is one part of Scatter diagrams / scatter graphs by "jsteingold" The L7 & L6 questions are some good scatter questions from KS3 Testbase. The written questions are for sale as a Premium resource from my TES shop. It is simply a list of 14 questions laid out on a sheet of A4 stickers so that students can choose which question to answer. The plenary is just a series of knowledge recall questions on a PowerPoint to do as a class Q&A.

Scatter Diagrams Quiz True or False Quiz Quiz Trade Sorting Maths Mastery Activity Game
StewsterthebearStewsterthebear

Scatter Diagrams Quiz True or False Quiz Quiz Trade Sorting Maths Mastery Activity Game

(0)
Activity designed to reinforce, consolidate and master understanding of scatter graphs. Attached is a list of 25 statements (25QTrueFalseScatterGraphsQuestions.rtf) which are either true, false or something in between. The questions are graded where the first 5 are the roughly the easiest, next 5 are harder and so on. Each has a suggested answer, a explanation and a tip for giving the student a little bit more to think about (25TrueFalseScatterGraphsQ-A). How can you use this? a) Give the set of 25 cards (25QTrueFalseScatterGraphsCards) to each table and then ask them to sort them into the categories of true, false, etc . (using the header cards - 4 versions to choose from). Discuss their choices and justify them. You could easily reduce the number of cards for lower ability tables or if in ability tables only given them just the easier cards. (You can see that I have done this with a subset of just 12 questions) but you may wish to pick off your own selection. b) Give each student a TrueFalseScatterGraphsQQT.docx card and allow them to roam the room choosing a partner to "Quiz Quiz Trade" with. i.e. they read the statement to their partner. Their partner then suggests the answer and then is given the solution after a little discussion. Then they do the same for the other partner and then swap cards and then go and find someone else. you can give all the cards out according to ability and then say that you can only pair up with another student who has a same grade question (1 to 5) or a question of a grade one higher or one lower than you. c) Display the statements on the projection screen (25QuestionsTrueFalsePPT) and have the class discuss the answers together. This could be followed up by the students picking one statement and writing their explanation and justification into their exercise books. You can further extend the activity by asking students to choose a false statement and then writing it again so it becomes true. If you spot any errors then please let me know asap. This is based on the work from lauramathswilson - another valued TES resources contributor - thank you to her for sharing it. I liked her idea and decided to develop it slightly to make it a collaborative table activity. I had actually seen the idea of doing true false for scatter graphs on a KS3 SAT paper (it's the last part on a L6 question on a non-calculator paper about Poplar trees) but lauramathswilson has taken it much further nicely.

Percentage of a Quantity Lesson Starter WITH ANSWERS :) Bubble Spider Quick Routes Method

(0)
Objective: Be able to find the percentage of a quantity (such as money amount) using a non calculator method. Real simple starter. Display the PowerPoint on the whiteboard. Print out the Starter worksheets onto A6 sized sheets or even 2 x 2 Label Sheets and the students come in, see the displayed slide and know to get straight onto their "bell task". Great way to settle them down. Use as a recap for last lesson or like I did to push them onto a harder example that just whole numbers. Use the enclosed Answers to check their working and so understanding. I call this method "Percentage by Quick Routes".. Usually taught via "bubble" or "spider" charts.

Fraction Decimal Percentage Starter Plenary Collaborative Table Group Warm Up Exercise

(0)
Objective: Convert between common fractions, decimals and percentages and know common equivalents A simple table collaborative group activity worksheet where the students fill in as many sets of fractions decimals and percentage equivalents that they can remember. It is a good settling starter activity or a good recap plenary exercise to end with. Once they have done several minutes or so, start reading out sets of answers like "1/2 = 0.5 = 50%", etc. Then when you have exhausted your list ask the students to read out any more they have. Then award points to the most unique ones a table has. Most points = winning table. It's a good activity which gets them communicating as they try to get unique sets of equivalents.
