Calculations

completed
on the back
Estimations
and
calculations
are recorded

writing down numbers
Typical Estimation Problem
Individual Student work front and back
Introduced
Absolute Value in
this formula
So what’s everyone
thinking?
More accountability
when shared
BTW, I used “Awesome Screenshot” to snag this
picture of my Google spreadsheet
To Format Column
Select:
Format
Number
Percent rounded
Give students easy access to spreadsheet
students have
more flexibility
in examining
the picture
links to spreadsheets
Sharing
Open access for all
Accessible only if
you have the link
(email, website, etc)
Open to a limited
community
Locked down
Specific people
within community
who have the link

What is Pi?
A Collaborative
Lesson Using a
Spreadsheet to share
real-time results of a
hands-on activity
Students measure the
circumference of their
item and record it
here. Students measure the
diameter of their object
and record it here
This is a calculated
column whose
value should be
close to Pi
I expect these
observation to
change as more
data becomes
available
Google Applications Used
● Google Drive
○ Presentation
○ Spreadsheet
● Awesome Screenshot (extension)
● Google Sites
Pitfalls● SlideShare didn’t like my Google Presentation
○ had to convert to PowerPoint first
● Having anonymous users gives you limited control
○ I didn’t require a login to save time
○ A few sixth graders typed inappropriate comments
● Google sites is somewhat rigid, but is easy to use, most of the
time.
Standards and Math Practices6.G.1.MA.1.a. Use the relationships among radius, diameter, and center of a circle to find its
circumference and area.
6.G.1.MA.1.b. Solve real-world and mathematical problems involving the measurements of
circles.
6.EE.2 Write, read, and evaluate expressions in which letters stand for numbers.
6.NS.7 Understand ordering and absolute value of rational numbers.
7.NS.2.d Convert a rational number to a decimal using long division; know that the decimal
form of a rational number terminates in 0s or eventually repeats.
MP.4 Model with mathematics
MP.5 Use appropriate tools strategically
Guiding Principle 3: Technology
Technology is an essential tool that should be used strategically in mathematics education.
Guiding Principle 5: Literacy Across the Content Areas
An effective mathematics program builds upon and develops students’ literacy skills and
knowledge.
