Above is a graph on the differences between the predicted about of money estimated cost (blue) that I would spend on my "wedding" and the red is the actual cost that was spent. On my Spreadsheet is list that my budget was $40,000, in which i spent almost $27,000. I was still extremely below this budget which was good that i didn't go over. But this is an example, and introduction to Spreadsheets, along with graphs and how they can be beneficial tools in the classroom.
The importance that students will find with using spreadsheets is a great way to help them organizing information they gather. I often remember using excel and spreadsheets, throughout school age years, but as I got older and more in my later years of High School I stopped using them. The usage of spreadsheets are very beneficial in different subjects for example Science, Math. Being able to record this information helps us get a better of picture of all the information while we are able to look at a chart give a better pictures for example students who need to be able to see items in a different way to help them comprehend. There are various times of charts/graphs that can be used which helps give a wide variety to users.
Inquiry-based Questions:
1. How can a line graph help you understand a graph in the change in the numbers over time, or over a long period of time?
2. What is the difference between a chart with numbers and a graph? And how can a graph be more helpful then a chart?
3. Is it important to use different colors when you are talking about two different topics in your bar graph? If so, why can't we use the same colors ...doesn't it do the same things because they are two different columns?
