4th Grade Ordered Pairs Database
In fourth grade at Laburnum today we combined a database lesson with a lesson on ordered pairs. I gave each student a Numbers template which you can download by clicking here. The template has a link to an online form for each student to enter some coordinates for a shape of their choice. They choose the x-coordinate, the y-coordinate, the shape, the color, and type their name. After all the students have entered their data, they open the next link which shows all the records. Now they are ready to enter this information into the Numbers document. As they type in their classmates’ coordinates, the points are automatically plotted on the graph. The final step is to use the Shapes tool to put the correct shape on the correct coordinates and change the fill color to the one specified.
