Students in a 4th grade classroom can use a spreadsheet
to solve many problems including teacher or student-created story
problems or real world problems involving their classroom, school,
community, or state. Here are some examples of problems that 4th
graders could solve using a spreadsheet.
-
What are the natural resources and major industries
of our state? How do our resources and major industries
compare with those of states in other regions of the country?
Is there a correlation between resources and industry?
-
What genre of books do
students in our class like to read? How does this compare with
other classes of fourth graders? With junior high students?
-
How does our weather (temperature, wind, barometric
pressure) compare with ____________?
(assign groups different cities)
Can you think of an appropriate problem that a fourth grader
could answer using a spreadsheet?
