Students study how scientists have estimated the maximum height to which trees can grow, and assess the reliability of interpolation and extrapolation techniques by making predictions with particular data sets and analyzing accuracy of...

Students work in groups to compare the density of different liquids.  In this density lesson, students use cooking oil, liquid detergent and water to measure density.  Students record their results and check the accuracy of...

Second graders gather and graph data.  In this graphing lesson, 2nd graders collect data and graph this information using tally charts, bar graphs, pictographs, or tables. They make predictions about the outcomes.

High Schoolers create a puppet and make predictions using the TI Navigator. In this math lesson, they will discuss their results as they explore transformation. This assignment requires the TI navigator or a smartboard.

Young scholars recognize, describe and extend patterns in three activities. They organize data, find patterns and describe the rule for the pattern as well as use the graphing calculator to graph the data to make and test predictions. In...

The investigation of exponential equation in the context of increasing college tuition costs is explored through this lessib.  Students write exponential equations based on the percent of change of college tuition and use their...

High schoolers use the TI-Navigator system to explore vector fields and make predictions. They also identify what a vector field is and that it represents the movement of water. Pupils try to determine where a bottle floating might have...

Learners collect data on the weather, graph and analyze it. In this algebra lesson, students interpret maps and are able to better plan their days based on the weather reading. They make predictions based on the type of clouds they see.

Learners collect data and analyze it. In this statistics lesson, students make predictions using different outcomes of trials.

Young scholars build and program a LEGO robotic car as well as measure and graph its speed. They acquire familiarity with principles of construction, motion, design and problem solving. They compare a robot's speed over two different...

Students observe weather daily for at least a month and graph the weather for one month. Then they use weather vocabulary such as sunny, windy, rainy, stormy, cold, snowy, foggy, and hot, and share their predictions about weather. ...

Students convert degrees between two different units. In this algebra lesson, students graph linear equations and identify the line of best fit. They use their line of best fit to make predictions given a set of data.

Students, after entering the given conditions into FoilSim, apply calculus techniques to verify predictions.

Students create equal groups of objects. In this math lesson, students create predictions as to how many objects they can get in each equal group. Additionally, students explore and record findings. 

In this scatterplot worksheet, 9th graders solve and complete 7 different problems that include defining various scatterplots. First, they use the data plotted on the scatterplot that represent the best prediction. Then, students use the...

Students analyze a math database and uncover facts. In this algebra lesson, students investigate the lives of famous mathematicians using facts they find about the different authors. They gain a new perspective for the...

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.

M&M's are always a great manipulative to use when teaching math. In this graphing lesson plan, learners predict how many of each color of M & M's there are. They count up each color and plug the data into a graph using the...

Expand your pupils' vocabulary! Learn how to use statistical vocabulary regarding linear models. The activity teaches scholars the appropriate terminology for bivariate data analysis. To complete the module, individuals use linear...

Here is an imaginative take on a classic lesson! Young scholars discover what color Valentine Candy is found more often than any other in a standard bag of Valentine Conversation Hearts. They observe, predict, sort, and classify the data...

For many young children it seems obvious that longer objects are heavier than shorter objects. This assumption is put to the test as the class investigates the relationship between length and weight in a whole-group activity. Using a...

Seventh graders investigate theoretical and experimental probability by conducting a series of experiments with multiple trials, comparing results, combining results and making conclusions. They express probabilities as fractions,...
