Today students in Ms. Zimmerman&#8217;s class found the place value of the sizes of the bordering states. I posted a template to Google classroom that you can download <a href=\"https:\/\/docs.google.com\/spreadsheets\/d\/1b5ZYZQ2eZlZJp4YuywZ3zVkCzGmO2bNN_0i4VjWbndw\/copy\">here<\/a>, and I set it so that all the students could edit it. Then I instructed them to research and find out the size of each state. The first student to find the answer wrote it in the correct cell (I explained that it&#8217;s like a race, but if they see a color in the cell, that means someone else is already in that one). We discovered that the quickest way to find the answer is to Google &#8220;size of [state name].&#8221; The template automatically creates a graph of the data. You can see their finished graph <a href=\"https:\/\/docs.google.com\/spreadsheets\/d\/1cVsY6WlzOgVdEXMrM8Y_TxcFWlNKbVcbUcHRHKcHiqA\/edit?usp=sharing\">here<\/a>. Next they opened a blank Google doc and selected a bordering state to write about. I showed them how to import the graph (Insert > Chart > From Sheets), and they wrote the area in written form and expanded form.
