Tool #7

Objective: Students will use Google Docs to create a bar graph of the colors of M&Ms in a package.
Implementation: September
Tools: Google Docs Spreadsheet
Description: The students will predict the color they think will have the most candies in the package and which color they think will have the least. They will then open the packages and use Google Docs Spreadsheet to create a bar graph showing how many of each color there actually are. Discussion of results will follow the creation of the graph. The other second grade classes will then be invited to add data to the spreadsheet. After the results of the other classes has been entered, the students will compare the spreadsheet of their class to the spreadsheet of the whole grade level.
