Prediction I
Competition: Guess the Age
In groups of 3-4, you will be jointly trying to predict the ages of people shown in photographs. I will show 10 photographs, about 10 seconds per, then you will have 4 minutes to discuss. One team member will enter your predictions into a google form.
- Get into groups (you may need to move)
- Decide who will fill out the form
- Discuss the method by which you’ll decide how to formulate a prediction for each picture
