Construct And Interpret Scatter Plots Math Games

4 games

In this series of games, your students will learn to construct and interpret scatter plots for bivariate measurement data to investigate patterns of association between two quantities. The Construct And Interpret Scatter Plots learning objective — based on CCSS and state standards — delivers improved student engagement and academic performance in your classroom, as demonstrated by research. This learning objective directly references 8.SP.A.1 as written in the common core national math standards.

Concepts Covered

Graph paired measurements that may be associated with a scatter plot. Look for a positive or negative trend in the cloud of points. Recognize a nonlinear pattern (curved pattern). Recognize a strong association (most of the points correspond by increasing or decreasing in correspondence with the associated values) or weak association (some of the points correspond by increasing or decreasing in correspondence with the associated values of the variables).

Describe groups of points as clusters. Describe points that are far off the trending points as outliers. If the points generally trend in a linear fashion (trend in a straight line) they are said to have a linear association. Interpret scatter plots for bivariate measurement data.

Scatter Aliens Estimated Duration: 7 minutes Use the power of the scatter graphics to escape the awful Aliens and find a safe path to your survival!

Newton Pool Estimated Duration: 15 minutes The game consists of hand-crafted levels where the player controls a white ball. The goal of each level is to get the white ball to the end of the level in as few moves as possible, while racking up points by bumping golden balls into obstacles on the way! The game does not have any instructional math content, it simply has math review questions spread throughout.

Construct And Interpret Scatter Plots Estimated Duration: 4 minutes Construct and interpret scatter plots for bivariate measurement data to investigate patterns of association between two quantities. Describe patterns such as clustering, outliers, positive or negative association, linear association, and nonlinear association.

Galaxy Escape Estimated Duration: 20 minutes 10 Bright Monsters have been captured in space and they need your help to cross the galaxy jumping between platforms, finding them, and releasing them by correctly answering each question. Each monster that you release and unlock will be available to play with in the next level, in the search for the next monster. In your journey, you’ll be able to find power-ups, like ‘Double points’ and ‘Slow down’, which can be activated by finding gems, and their duration can be extended by correctly answering a question. Unlock and release the 10 different monsters and a spaceship along 10 different levels, while you make the most possible points.
