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. 

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...

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.

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 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...
