In previous posts I&#8217;ve shown how your habitats unit (SOL3.4) can reinforce the skills you are teaching in <a href=\"http:\/\/etechplace.org\/clough\/?p=3410\">Social Studies<\/a> and <a href=\"http:\/\/etechplace.org\/clough\/?p=3416\">Reading<\/a>.  Now we&#8217;ll see how it can reinforce Math concepts as well. At Trevvett Elementary, third graders have been learning about graphing (3.17), so today students in Ms. Bae&#8217;s class practiced graphing animal&#8217;s habitats.  First we had to collect some data. I used <a href=\"http:\/\/fobi.io\">Fobio<\/a> to convert a Google form into a chatbot to make the process a bit more interesting. You can try the chatbot out for yourself by clicking <a href=\"https:\/\/fobi.io\/#\/bot\/CXsnXuB\">here<\/a>.  Once the students had entered their information, I took a screenshot of the results spreadsheet and posted it to Schoology (step 2 in the graphic accompanying this post). Next the students opened a blank Google spreadsheet and typed the habitats in Column A and the number of animals in Column B.  I showed them how to use the new &#8220;Explore&#8221; feature by clicking the star shape in the bottom right corner. From the pop-up window they could change the colors of the rows and automatically add a bar graph (step 3 in the graphic).  I explained that they could also change the colors of the bars by double clicking on one of them, then clicking the paint bucket in the pop-up window. The students shared the links to their spreadsheets on Schoology. You can see an example <a href=\"https:\/\/docs.google.com\/spreadsheets\/d\/1IP_AC7haMGKZh_P1Mc20KcRkOYVkYCV0z36VJSC4NDE\/edit?usp=sharing\">here<\/a>.
