Students use estimation and measurement skills to make predictions and solve problems involving length.

Young scholars explore how shapes can make patterns then make connections as to how elements in a pattern relate to one another. In this matter of pattern lesson, students create a multi-folded paper snowflake. Young scholars engage...

Students use problem solving skills to reason, predict and problem solve through exploration. They recognize a way in which they are different from their peers and create a graph that shows these differences.

Students explore number sense by solving consumer math problems. In this pattern identification lesson plan, students analyze a list of numerical and geometric patterns while predicting the future outcome. Students utilize inference...

Young scholars use calculations to complete the same journey of Lewis and Clark. They answer questions along their way and share information they gather with the class. They compare their calculations with those made by Lewis and Clark.

In this problem solving worksheet, students determine which spinner will most frequently land on a color choice of a color wheel. In this coloring and multiple choice worksheet, students will answer two questions.

In this math worksheet, students find the likelihood of different outcomes with the use of M and M's candy for the seven questions and fill in the graphic organizer.

Third graders predict how many times they'll see the word "the" in a newspaper page and highlight all the "the"s they find. After reviewing definitions of range, median, mode, mean they create a Stem and Leaf Plot and a Back-to-Back Stem...

In this statistics worksheet, learners view 6 graphs to determine the correlation. Students then answer 4 questions that involve plotting data, determining a relationship, and making predictions.

In this multiplication patterns worksheet, learners complete a set of 8 questions, using multiplication patterns, comparing digits to find patterns and using patterns to make predictions. Answers included on page 2.

Students participate in an estimation activity to determine the length of a hallway or to estimate how many people can fit in the school stadium or gym.

Students identify properties of trapezoids. In this geometry lesson, students are put into groups and use computer programs to analyze polygons. They drag and move the shapes around as they make predictions.

In this scatterplots worksheet, students construct a scatter plot from a given data set. Students then answer 4 questions regarding the least-squares regression line and making predictions.

Young scholars calculate the shortest distance of various scenarios. In this algebra lesson plan, students interpret graphs of optimization problems. They use a graphing calculator to assist them in graphing and making predictions.
