Scatter Plots and Linear Inequalities
In this lesson, students toss trash-balls into the trashcan, recording their shooting percentage from various distances from the basket. With distances measured and percentages figured, students create a scatter plot and a line of best fit to create a linear model of the shooting skills of the class.
Students analyze various data points, first looking at one-variable inequalities and their graphs. Finally, students are led through a discussion to recognize the role that linear inequalities play. This is a great, simple lesson, and inexpensive lesson that addresses nearly 50% of the Algebra 1 EOI, including expressions, one- and two-variable inequalities and their graphs, data analysis, scatter plots, and linear equations.

Trashketball: 1 year, 10 months agoHey team! I’ll be working on this lesson a ton this week! I’d love to have your input. I’ll be presenting it next week at the Oklahoma Alternative Education Summer Institute.
