NOAA has some data and lessons on forecasting. [|NOAA data]

Here is a link to a world clock that shows statistics continually changing. [|World Clock]

 PreAssessment
Here's the Pre-Assessment as a hand-out. Also this one has a few more points for the students to plot on the number line.

 Phase 1
World Population charts Here are four small tables with the world population. This may be handy to have throughout the phase. Scientific Notation Roundtable: this can be used anytime during phase one.

Lesson 1
Smart lesson for lesson 1 This lesson outline starts with an introduction to big numbers and population. The second half deals with the lesson from the book.

Opener for use with smart lesson Rally coach for use with lesson 1 Student and Alaska friendly forecasting situations

 Lesson 2
Smart lesson for lesson 2 Here is a quick opener practicing subtraction of decimals using the world population data. Student card template for opener

Student worksheet for finding growth numbers

Round table for growth numbers In this round table, the student guesses a number, tries it out and then determines whether it is too high or too low. They then pass it to the next person who chooses a number based on the previous answer. Students have four chances to determine the correct answer.

Lesson 4
Lesson 4 lesson plan outline Questions for adapted lesson that involves graphs

  **Lesson 5 ** Lesson 5 chart

An exercise in extending sequences and deriving formulas for the sequences (Note: the 2 sequences on the back should be posed as a challenge, not as a requirement...try them out and you'll see!!)
