Tutero’s curriculum includes comprehensive lessons on linear regression, teaching students how to model relationships between two variables. Students learn to construct and interpret linear regression equations, understand the significance of the slope and intercept, and apply these concepts to real-world data for predictive analysis.
This lesson plan on linear regression features enabling prompts to assist students with the basics of correlation and simple linear regression, alongside extending prompts for those ready to conduct and interpret regression analyzes using real-world data. The prompts encourage practical application and deepen understanding of how regression models predict outcomes.

Basics of Linear Regression
Initially, students learn about the relationship between two variables and how to represent this relationship using a best-fit line on a scatter plot. They understand the basic concepts of slope and y-intercept in the context of linear models. By 5th grade, they perform linear regression analysis using statistical software, interpreting the slope and intercept in real-world terms, and use regression models to predict outcomes and understand relationships between variables.
Plotting Data for Linear Regression
Initially, students plot data points on scatter plots and draw lines of best fit manually, learning the basics of linear relationships. As they progress, they use statistical tools to calculate and plot regression lines, understanding the mathematical relationship between variables. By 5th grade, students use linear regression analysis to predict outcomes and understand the reliability of these predictions.
Understanding the Line of Best Fit
Initially, students draw lines of best fit by eye on scatter plots to understand trends in bivariate data. They learn about the criteria for determining the best fit, such as minimising the distances from the line to the data points. By 5th grade, students use statistical methods to calculate the line of best fit, applying concepts like linear regression to predict values and analyze relationships scientifically.
