between them. [8-G4] Lesson: IQL 6-4,7-3,7-4
Understand that two-dimensional figure is similar to

Construct and interpret scatter plots for bivariate
measurement data to investigate patterns of
association between two quantities. Describe patterns
such as clustering, outliers, positive or negative
association, linear association, and nonlinear
association. [8-SP1] Lessons:IQL9-1, 9-1, 9-2, IQL9-2
Know that straight lines are widely used to model
relationships between two quantitative variables. For
scatter plots that suggest a linear association,
informally assess the model fit by judging the
closeness of the data points to the line. [8-SP2]
Lessons:IQL9-2,9-2
Use the equation of a linear model to solve problems
in the context of bivariate measurement data,
interpreting the slope and intercept. [8-SP3]
Lessons:IQL9-2,9-2
Understand that patterns of association can also be
seen in bivariate categorical data by displaying
frequencies and relative frequencies in a two-way
table. Construct and interpret a two-way table
summarizing data on two categorical variables
collected from the same subjects. Use relative
frequencies calculated for rows or columns to
describe possible association between the two
variables. [8-SP4] Lesson :9-3
