Forecasting

Forecasting is the process of making predictions or estimates about future events based on past and present data. It is used in various fields such as business, economics, weather, and finance to anticipate future trends and outcomes.

There are different methods of forecasting, including qualitative methods that rely on expert judgment and quantitative methods that use mathematical models and statistical techniques to analyze historical data and make projections.

Some common quantitative forecasting techniques include time series analysis, regression analysis, and moving averages. These methods help in identifying patterns and trends in the data to make informed predictions about future values.

Forecasting is valuable for decision-making, as it allows businesses and organizations to plan and allocate resources effectively, manage risks, and adapt to changing market conditions.

Identify Quadrilaterals

The resources above cover the following skills:

Geometry (NCTM)

Analyze characteristics and properties of two- and three-dimensional geometric shapes and develop mathematical arguments about geometric relationships.

Identify, compare, and analyze attributes of two- and three-dimensional shapes and develop vocabulary to describe the attributes.

Classify two- and three-dimensional shapes according to their properties and develop definitions of classes of shapes such as triangles and pyramids.

Use visualization, spatial reasoning, and geometric modeling to solve problems.

Recognize geometric ideas and relationships and apply them to other disciplines and to problems that arise in the classroom or in everyday life.

Grade 3 Curriculum Focal Points (NCTM)

Geometry: Describing and analyzing properties of two-dimensional shapes

Students describe, analyze, compare, and classify two-dimensional shapes by their sides and angles and connect these attributes to definitions of shapes. Students investigate, describe, and reason about decomposing, combining, and transforming polygons to make other polygons. Through building, drawing, and analyzing two-dimensional shapes, students understand attributes and properties of two-dimensional space and the use of those attributes and properties in solving problems, including applications involving congruence and symmetry.
