Making Predictions from Best-Fit Lines
Est. Class Sessions: 1
Students read a story about two children who are in the Caribbean searching for the wrecks of two Spanish galleons. Inspired by their schoolwork with Mr. Origin, they plot the location of sunken items they find on a grid with an origin and uncover an important clue to locating the sunken ship. Students use a point graph representing the map to practice using coordinates and draw a best-fit line to make predictions.
