Are We Really Similar?

Home Up

In this activity students pair up with a partner and measure various body parts. 

Students enter one person's measurements in L1 and the other's in L2. 

The students create a scatterplot of the data and manually fit a line to the data.

Using the line the students predict other measurements and then compare to see how accurate the line was in predicting the new measurements.
