Description: This article, C.W. Puritz of the Royal Grammar School - High Wycombe, describes a method to calculate the least squares line algebraically. First, the author uses a numeric example, which uses calculus, then describes a simpler algebraic method. This is a great lesson plan for those instructors attempting to teach this method with having students with prior knowledge of calculus. The author uses a step by step approach to help best describe both the technique and subsequent ways to best teach this method.
