Second graders determine the total value of a collection of coins. They convert money and make money exchanges. Students create and solve money-story problems. They demonstrate the ability to summarize conversations and discussions.

Students examine wildflower data compiled from their student journals from the school year. They determine patterns of seasonal growth then use these patterns to predict patterns for missing data.

Students use the concepts in statistics to make decisions. They calculate the mean, median and mode. They compare one firefighter against another and analyze the data. They share their information with the class.

Students discuss and create their own patterns. They practice and improve on making patterns of their own using red, white, and blue paper for a national theme. The symbols are based on what the teacher picks for the class.

Students use data from simulations to make theoretical generalizations. They discuss possible relationships between several given events and gain understanding about their own mathematical intuition about likelihood.

Eighth graders examine the census data of 2001.  In this American History instructional activity, 8th graders analyze data using one- and two-variable statistical analysis.  Students develop a research question that makes use...

Seventh graders define density in their own words. In this physics lesson, 7th graders solve density problems using its mathematical formula. They explain why some objects flow and some sink.

Eighth graders engage in a lesson that investigates basic mathematical operations using a number line. They use props for hands on activities of visualizing the solution to a particular problem.

Pupils describe the mark/recapture method used to estimate fish populations. They explain the importance of being able to predict population numbers.

Learners create a chaotic system. They display a basic knowledge of the system and are able to recognize it. The students form a hypothesis about a chaotic system and theorize the cause and effect.

Students identify effects of treatment weather on behavior of a wildland fire. They view simulation game that predicts effects of forest management on fire behavior.

Pupils use FoilSim to complete the activity to create tables of data sets comparing the lift values for a 3-D model of a symmetrical wing section to the values predicted by the FoilSim software.

Students search the Internet to find a site that contains an amortization table and make a hypothesis about the results of changing time and rate. They examine the affects of time and rate on a mortgage and discuss the difference in the...

Ninth graders investigate and make conjectures about volume. In this geometry lesson, 9th graders analyze data and predict the outcome. They calculate volume using different tiers.

Students examine concrete samples and guess their strength. They determine the correlation between concrete strength and the cement to water ratio that was used in making each sample. They make a quality concrete based on their findings.

Students gain knowledge by measuring time and distance for solving unknowns in an equation. They also will design an airplane and chance to communicate mathematically by writing essays.

Seventh graders, after predicting dominant colors foud in their habitat or garden, visit heir area on a monthly basis. They search for colored toothpicks, then graph the results, determining the dominant color for the month.

Young scholars simulate hibernation with their stuffed animals. They predict the length of time of hibernation and type their math journal entries about sorting, graphing and draw pictures. They read bear hibernation stories.

Second graders investigate the measurement of 1 meter. They predict and measure how many strips of paper it takes to make exactly one meter. Students devise and use problem solving strategies to solve the problem.

High schoolers research the concept of predicting the weather. The research focuses on how some weather facts intuitively make sense. Students answer key questions based upon the mathematical concept of covariance.

n a class discussion Students identify events or situations as being likely to occur or unlikely to occur. Then, they work in pairs to generate likely and unlikely statements to share with the class.

Students look around classroom and identify any patterns they see, describe patterns and explain why they are patterns, use pencil to demonstrate arithmetic patterns by tapping, practice predicting patterns by using Function Box, and...

Young scholars are given data and are to calculate averages and yearly totals of how many cars travel the Tacoma Narrows Bridge. They also make a graph of the data.

Students use wire to make knots and submerse them in pans of detergent to observe how the soap film clings to the wire. They discover this film is called the Seifert Surface. After drawing pictures of the surface, they discuss what...
