Graphing with excel

Here is a great site for basic information about using excel and the chart wizard feature to create bar graphs.

Again, minimize this page, open a new internet web page and insert the address below into the address bar.

Take a look at both the single and double bar graph examples.



OK - here is a site that will walk you through using excel to make a pictograph.

This one is very similar to a lesson that I teach about chicken farmers.


NOW - can you make up your own lesson and data that will help students learn how to use this tool? Post it as a comment, and thanks.

    hey - there probably are alot of other skills that excel can do for you that I don't even know about! It is cool - and makes for a nice presentation of data. It makes me want to check out quicken or other software for organizing my finances. Yep, technology is the way to go!
    Later,
    Love, Mrs. Perry
