In math class, the students sorted Legos by color and graphed them on a sheet of paper. They took the same data and entered it into an Excel Spreadsheet to create a bar graph. You can see their graphs at the following website: http://grymeslab.weebly.com/lego-graphs.html
Today I will introduce the class to the concept of spreadsheets. Spreadsheets are used for information that is laid out in tables. People use spreadsheets to sort, calculate, and graph.
