The Fundamentals: Level 2 Scatter Diagrams  \nChris Briggs  \nProduct Manager Post 16 English, Maths and Digital Skills  \nScatter Diagrams  \nWhat does the Chief Examiner say?  \n• For scatter diagrams learners cannot read off accurately and the use of lines of best fit to make predictions is not well understood.  \n• Many lines go through the origin when they should not others join in a dot-to-dot manner.  \n• Centres should be aware this is the only diagram specifically referenced at level 2, although level 1 diagrams can be used, so is commonly seen on papers.  \n• Being competent with drawing and using scatter diagrams will aid all learners greatly.  \nSkills that power potential | Pearson Functional Skills  \nScatter Diagrams  \nWhat are scatter diagrams used for?  \n• To show visually the correlation / relationship between two sets of data.  \n• There can be a positive correlation, a negative correlation and no correlation.  \nTop Tip  \n• Ask the class for situations where they might find a positive or a negative or no correlation in data.  \n• Matching exercise (situations to correlations)  \nSkills that power potential | Pearson Functional Skills  \nScatter Diagrams  \nWhat do the learners need to be able to do?  \n• Plot a graph  \n• Label a graph  \n• Use of linear scale  \n• Add a line of best fit  \n• Describe a correlation  \n• Estimate answers
