Students 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.

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

Young scholars use estimation and measurement skills to make predictions and solve problems about length. They also analyze data presented to calculate ratios and percents.

Students examine the impact of the aging population. In this demographic lesson, students evaluate, analyze, and make predictions about the aging world around them.

Ninth graders track the hit count on their favorite web sites.  In this Algebra I instructional activity, 9th graders record the number of hits on their favorite web site for twenty days.  Students explore the data to determine...

Young scholars identify relation, function, patterns and range. In this algebra lesson, students factor and graph quadratic equations. They use transformation to move the parabola around and make predictions.

Students view the benefits of using graphs to communicate information, answer questions and solve problems. They investigate color distribution in bags of M & M's. Working with actual bags of candy, they will sort and classify contents.

 Students explore the likelihood of events.  In this logical thinking lesson plan, 3rd graders are given several scenarios and determine whether the possibility of the described event actually happening is likely, unlikely, or...

Students make and analyze predictions and attempt to solve the birthday problem. They use the solutions they find to answer related questions.

Ninth graders explore linear functions.  In this Algebra I lesson, 9th graders collect and analyze date as they investigate the question of how long will water last if you are trapped in a desert.    Students create...

Students collect, graph and analyze data. In this statistics lesson, students compare data using different types of graphs. They make predictions, draw conjectures as they analyze bulbs used in a holiday light set.

Young scholars collect, graph and analyze data. In this statistics lesson, students use circle, pie, bar and lines to represent data. They analyze the data and make predictions bases on the scatter plots created.

Students observe math and science concepts no matter which way the wind blows. In this early childhood problem solving instructional activity, students will develop science, math, and observation skills as they learn about the wind.

Students explore graphing. In this graphing lesson, students predict how many shoe eyelets are present in the classroom. Students count eyelets and work in groups to organize and chart the data collected. Students put all the data...

In this math worksheet, students read the examples for using the techniques of mathematical modeling. They draw the angles in order to simulate the reflection of light while using a concave mirror.

Students identify a number pattern and extend the number sequence. They make generalizations given a specific pattern and create, describe, and extend patterns. They create a table that describes a function rule for a single operation...

In an interdisciplinary exploration, trace the development of West Nile fever and Lyme diseases. Pupils discover how these diseases are contracted. They collect statistical data and analyze trends.

If you keep rolling a die, you'll roll a five exactly one-sixth of the time—right? A probability lesson prompts young mathematicians to roll a die 100 times and use the data to calculate empirical probabilities. They then compare...

Three days of race car design and driving through the classroom while guessing probability could be a third graders dream. Learn to record car speed, distances traveled, and statistics by using calculation ranges using the mean, median,...

At a depth of 3,000 m in the ocean, the pressure is 300 times that at sea level! In the activity, individuals predict what will happen to Styrofoam cups submerged 3,000 meters into the ocean. They then convert these units to soccer...

Investigate the growth rates of alien animals. Pupils study fictional animals from another planet to determine how much they grow per year. The investigators plot the growth of their animals over a period of time and then compare...

One is chance, two is a coincidence, three's a pattern. Scholars must determine similarities and differences of a regular hexagon undergoing dilation. They look at lengths, angles, areas, and symmetry.

Sometimes there just isn't a parent function that fits the situation. Help scholars learn to combine function types through operations and compositions. Learners first explore a new concept with an introductory activity and then follow...
