Spreadsheets in Education
The spreadsheet and graph below can be used in a grade 3 math class when introducing the use of graphs. The spreadsheet in this example is showing how we can record data such as the birthdays of students within the class. By using the students that are learning we are allowing them to be involved in the research which will make them more engaged and interested to see what the results will be. In this instance we record all of the months that each child in the class had their birthday and then at the bottom put a total reagarding how many students have birthdays in each month. The students are represented in the graph below. Each month is a differnet colour and the students can determine which months have the greatest amount of birthdays by looking at the graph. I think this would be a benifitial tool to teach students to research and record their data before making a graph to represent their data.
