Handprint Mystery provides a real-world example of how linear equations can be used to approximate data and make predictions.

This week, someone has been leaving fun surprises for the classroom. No one has seen them so far, but this morning there was a frosting-covered handprint found on a counter. Can we get an approximate height for the person based on their handprint?

Students will measure their hand lengths and heights, then explore their data using CODAP, a free online data exploration tool.
