Prediction is like when you see dark clouds in the sky and think it might rain soon. You don’t know for sure, but you have a good guess because you’ve seen it happen before. It’s like using your memory to make a smart guess about what could happen next.
Think of prediction as playing a guessing game with clues. Imagine you’re playing hide and seek, and your friend always hides in the same spot. You might predict they’re there again because that’s the clue you have from past games. It’s using what you know to figure out what might happen.
Another way to think about prediction is like being a fortune teller for your toys. If you’ve noticed your toy car always rolls off the table when you push it too hard, you might predict it will fall again if you push it the same way. You’re using what you’ve learned to tell what might happen, just like a little detective solving a mystery with clues.
