Scatter Plot (Linear) - Graph to Correlation Direction (Level 1)

This math topic focuses on developing the skill of identifying the correlation direction in scatter plots. Students are asked to determine whether the correlation in given scatter plots is positive, negative, or has no correlation. The problems progress through seven questions where students need to visually analyze graphs to decide the nature of the correlation between the data points presented. Each question provides a scatter plot and multiple-choice answers to guide the student in recognizing the pattern of data dispersion. This is an introductory level for understanding scatter plots and correlation within data sets.
