Well I have finally figured it out. I have never really worked with a spredsheet before. It really is not all that complicated once you get the hang of it. I was impressed that I was able to get it to do functions such as adding and multiplying. i have created a spread sheet that would calculate how much money you could make by recycling. All of the figures are just made up but, in my project the child would have to so some resaech to find out how much items such as aluminum cans are sold for. They could the plug in the numbers into my spreadsheet and see how much money they could generate. I think children would find it as cool as I did. Check out my spreadsheet.
Some questions I would ask my students when working on this project would be:
1. How can you use a spreadsheet to record data?
2. How can you organize the items collected on your spreadheet?
3. What types of graphs could you make with the data on your spreadsheet?
