Scatter Plot (Linear) - Graph to Trend (Level 1)

This math topic involves interpreting scatter plots to identify trends and relationships between variables. It covers analyzing whether an increase or decrease in one variable correlates with an increase, decrease, or no change in another variable. Specific scenarios include changes in temperature affecting seed count or sales, and exam length influencing marks. The students are required to discern between direct associations, inverse associations, or no relationship using given scatter plots. This helps in developing skills in visual data interpretation and understanding linear relationships in data sets.
