Students study how scientists have estimated the maximum height to which trees can grow, and assess the reliability of interpolation and extrapolation techniques by making predictions with particular data sets and analyzing accuracy of their estimates. Full Review »

Students develop the idea that carbon dating is based on gathering evidence in the present and extrapolating it to the past. They use a simple graph to extrapolate data to its starting point. Full Review »

Students extend their learning of graphing linear equations and are introduced to connecting patterns in tables and graphs to represent algebraic representations. They then determine patterns and extrapolate information from these graphs. Full Review »

Students calculate the length, width, height, perimeter, area, volume, surface area, angle measures or sums of angle measures of common geometric figures. They create an equation of a line of best fit from a set of ordered pairs or set of data points. They interpolate and extrapolate to solve problems using systems of numbers. Full Review »

Students interpolate, extrapolate, and make predictions from given information. They present results and conclusions from given data using basic statistics. Pupils create a survey from a critical question and decide which sampling techique to use for the survey. Full Review »

Students research different economic concepts. The teaching methods involve the reading of text, the analysis of the facts presented during a class discussion, the extrapolation of inferences based upon those facts, and a writing of opinion based upon that extrapolation. Full Review »

Students find the range, mode, median, and mean for each of the data sets (height and shoe size). They discuss which measure of central tendency for each data set best represents the class and why. Students graph the shoe size and the height of each student choosing the appropriate domain and range, and determine if a relationship (relation or function) exists between the two. Full Review »

Students organize data from the USA TODAY Snapshot, "Is leisure time really shrinking?" into two scatter plots and determine the quadratic model for each scatter plot. They determine if these graphs intersect and learn the concept of extrapolation by expanding the viewing window to find the intersection. Finally, students calculate percent increase or decrease by comparing the predicted value with the listed value through percent of error. Full Review »
