Schools & departments: shared access, consistent planning

Give multiple teachers access to the same ready-to-teach resources, support consistent lesson sequencing across classes and reduce duplicated planning across the department. School membership is ideal for teams who want shared access to lessons, worksheets and practice across KS3, GCSE, IGCSE and A-Level.

Scatter Graphs: GCSE / IGCSE

These GCSE / IGCSE scatter graphs lessons develop fluency plotting paired data, describing correlation carefully and using a line of best fit to estimate values. Topics include:

  • Plotting scatter graphs to identify whether correlation exists between two measurements
  • Interpreting scatter graphs using a line of best fit to estimate missing data values
  • Correlation and causation: using scatter graphs to discuss why correlation does not always imply causation

Scatter Graphs: A-Level

These A-Level statistics lessons connect scatter graphs to formal models, correlation measures and hypothesis testing in Statistics 1 and Statistics 2. Topics include:

  • Linear regression models: interpreting a line of regression from a scatter graph
  • Regression with exponential models, using logarithms to linearise relationships for modelling
  • Finding the product moment correlation coefficient (PMCC) from bivariate data
  • Hypothesis testing for zero correlation using the PMCC in context
