Teacher lesson plan: Create and Analyze Rectangular Patterns
In this lesson, students analyze and create rectangular patterns of squares. First they identify three stages of a pattern by coloring squares in a Microsoft Office Excel grid and quantify the information in a table. Next, they analyze the rates of growth in the three stages of the pattern, graph the formula or the points for each stage, and make predictions based on their findings. Finally, they create their own three-stage rectangular design, quantify the information, find the formulas, and share their pattern with other students.
Teacher lesson plan: Using graphs to investigate candy color distribution lesson plan
Using graphs to investigate candy color distribution lesson plan.
In this lesson, students learn the benefits of using different kinds of graphs to communicate information, answer questions, and solve problems as they investigate color distribution in bags of M&M's. Working with actual bags of candy, students sort and classify contents, learn to use formulas in a Microsoft Office Excel spreadsheet, summarize their findings on a worksheet, convert the numbers into charts, and make predictions about color distribution in other bags of candy
My Podcast
This is an example of how a student used the software on a MacBook to create a report using music and video. This is a good one to share with students.

Tar Heel Reader
Do you have students in your classroom that struggle with reading? Maybe these free online books could interest them. Lots of topics, and great photos. I liked the one about Bats.

If you had as difficult time in converting measurements in analytic chemistry in college, or if you are a microbiochemist, or if you are thinking about calculating how much your home loan will cost in 25 years, musician, fisherman in France, historian, you will be amazed by this web resource.
Design
Both math and art include elements of design. Explore the relationship between form and function as well as pattern, shape, and space using these educational resources.
Create A Graph
?Graphs and charts are great because they communicate information visually. For this reason, graphs are often used in newspapers, magazines and businesses around the world.
NCES constantly uses graphs and charts in our publications and on the web. Sometimes, complicated information is difficult to understand and needs an illustration. Graphs or charts can help impress people by getting your point across quickly and visually.
