Discuss scientific notation with this mathematics lesson. Middle schoolers predict which problem is bigger of two numbers. They analyze the problems by observing the powers of 10 in order to decide which is bigger. This appears to be an...

Young scholars collect real world data from the Web regarding high and low tides at various locations in the United States. They find a function which models this data and make predictions on tide levels based on the information found.

Fifth graders collect and organize data from writing samples, use fractions and decimals to describe the experimental data, and use the experimental results to make predictions about the frequency of letter usage in the English language.

In this math worksheet, learners identify the type (if any) of correlation on 6 scatter plots. They use information given on a table to create a scatter plot and identify the type of correlation. Students use the scatter plot to make...

Students find lost "treasure" using a treasure map after being shown a map that you have created where terms and symbols are discussed. The class is divided into small groups where they locate your treasure and then read a section from...

Students explore probability.  In this statistics/probability lesson plan, students compare experimental and theoretical probability and use experimental probability to make predictions and conjectures.  Students explore the...

Students estimate what they can accomplish in a minute. In this estimation lesson, students guess how many jumping jacks or stars they can draw in a minute. They get timed and see how close they are to their prediction. 

In this radon alert:  understanding odds worksheet, 5th graders predict results of rolling dice and record data in a chart, then compare odds of events and occupations, then compare that with radon exposure.

Fourth graders conduct an experiment involving size and relative ability in smaller species using Madagascar cockroaches. They make predictions about how many pennies the roaches can pull, compare the results to human strength, and...

Students explore water properties by conducting a class experiment. In this buoyancy lesson, students make predictions as to whether or not specific objects will sink or float in water. Students conduct the experiment and record their...

Students calculate the speed, motion and distance of a projectile. In this geometry lesson, students obtain measurements while calculating velocity. They graph their results and make predictions.

Students investigate probability through a game. In this data instructional activity, students use dice and predictions to explore how probability works.

Pupils use lists and tree diagrams to identify possible combinations of objects. They systematically list all possible choices, and predict the number of outcomes using multiplication.

Second graders determine and compare weights and volumes of popped and unpopped corn to make predictions and solve problems. Students combine the data of each group into a graph. They construct questions, statements and story problems...

First graders listen to the story, Olivia Counts, and demonstrate counting to ten. They make predictions, and recognize the day and night sky. They add page number 2 to their counting books.

Students use calculators and "by hand" techniques to compare models of real-life data situations, determine the best model for a situation, and use their models to make predictions.

Learners analyze the impact of the J.P. Morgan/Chase Manhattan merger, and predict how the merger affect the company's financial performance. They create annual reports for the company based on their predictions.

Students view an interactive video to explore the concepts of estimation. They work cooperatively to measure, make comparisons, make predictions, and verify results.

Arcsine will be better understood and applied through prediction the number of petals on a rose curve using polar equations. High schoolers relate rose curve to siusoidal functions using the Ti navigator.

Learners identify the pattern in a problem. In this geometry instructional activity, students make predictions, collect and analyze data. They apply the idea of scales and measurements to the real world.

Students study fractions by comparing rations using Cuisenaire rods. They make predictions, measure lengths using Cuisenaire rods and explain their answers. Next, they discuss the relationship of the different rods in terms of their...

Students review the Census Bureau's Homepage, gather information regarding population trends in order to make predictions on future populations.

Fifth graders collect data and use charts and line plots to graph data. Through class surveys, 5th graders collect data concerning a particular subject. They graph their data using a line graph. Students make inferences and predictions...

Students investigate the election and poll surveys. In this statistics lesson, students take poll information and analyze the data. They graph their data and make predictions and conjectures.
