Quality of Explanation of the Subject Matter: Superior (3)
I have used this resource video with my adult learners to teach about scatter plots and the line of best fit. The students appreciate seeing the points graphed, the line drawn, and then the slope and intercept calculated from the line.

This video resource gives many examples of scatter plots showing the different types of slope and correlation. The steps to determine the line of best fit are given and then demonstrated using a set of data. The slope and y-intercept are then calculated from this data.
