TOPIC INVOLVED: G raphing

IS THIS A GAME, ACTIVITY, DOCUMENT, WEBSITE, VIDEO, ETC: Document

BRIEF DESCRIPTION:


 * This document mentions the main important points to emphasize when students are creating graphs from data.
 * This document is more thorough than you need to be at points, but still is important to look over.

ANY SPECIFIC RECOMMENDATIONS?:


 * This document is particularly useful
 * See the "Where's My Best Fit?" activity on the "Games and Activities!" page to see one way to help students to understand how to "best fit" some data in order to determine a trend.
 * Students need ALOT of help with graphs, and best-fit lines/curves are very difficult for students to grasp, so the more examples and activities you do, the better.
 * ** This document is probably most useful for those teaching 8th grade science, but the other levels would benefit as well. **
