Students will be able to use the table feature of Microsoft Word to construct a solvable maze. 2. Students will be able to incorporate clip art and WordArt into their mazes. ** Materials: **

1. //table// - Microsoft Word feature that allows the user to format a document. 2. //border// - Microsoft Word feature that creates line borders within or around a table. 3. //merge cells// - Microsoft Word feature that makes a large cell out of smaller cells. **Procedure:**
 * Vocabulary:**

[ **Note:** See **Materials** for the Table Maze Directions. The directions contain helpful diagrams for creating a maze. Below are general directions for completing the activity.]

1. Students begin by opening a new Word document.

2. Students click on the Tables and Borders button to bring up the Tables and Borders toolbar.

3. Using the Table menu button, each student inserts a table with 14 columns and 14 rows. 4. Then students highlight the entire grid and double space the cells by going to: Format/Paragraph/Line Spacing (Double). 5. The words "Start" and "End" should be typed in the grid. For example, "Start" could be in the upper left cell and "End" could be in the lower right cell. Students create a path between the "Start" and "End" by using the Border icon to remove cell walls. (Optional for 6th grade or higher: use diagonal lines and line thickness to create chutes and ladders.) 6. Next, students select an area of the grid to insert a picture. · First, an area of 4 or 9 cells should be highlighted. · Then students merge these cells by selecting Table/Merge Cells. · Now a clip art picture can be inserted into that space. (Also use typing the portrait that is saved in you folder). Students should make sure that their cursor is in the newly created cell area. Then students can go to Insert/Picture/Clip Art to select a picture. When the picture is inserted it may not fit perfectly at first, so students may need to adjust the picture's size and proportion. Students can add other pieces of clip art, and they can construct additional paths to form dead ends. 7. Once the paths have been completed and all clip art images have been inserted, then students can use WordArt to add a title to their maze (using the Drawing toolbar). 8. Students should also include their name somewhere on the page. To make sure the mazes are solvable, students can preview the mazes by using the Print Preview option under the File menu.

*In closing, students print their mazes and turn them in. The teacher can make copies of each maze so that the students can solve each other's mazes. Also, copies of the mazes can be given to other students in the school (other elementary grade students). ** Assessment: ** When students turn in their mazes, check to see that each maze is solvable. Each maze should have the student's name, a title, clip art, WordArt, and dead ends.


 * Special Comments: ** Many adults have problems using the table functions in Microsoft Word. This exercise is fun for the students and will ensure they are competent in using tables as they format future school work.

.-This is also my attempt to provide an opportunity to learn about obscure graphs. . I have included some papers that I created for student use that may help open this door. After experimenting with these graphs, it is great to have students come up with their own data and ideas for using different graphs. Again, please share any other ways you know to incorporate those more obscure graphs. I guarantee that as you and your students study and analyze this area of graphing you will begin to stretch those higher order thinking skills in order to explain data in different unique ways. __So many time we give students data or tell them what to graph. This __ allows students to determine what they wish to look for, find the data, and then write a story about it. This works great as a collaborative activity for both creation and sharing. Students can find information on the internet or they can bring in their own. Some students love to bring in data that they can eat in the end. I have learned that not all 2.5 ounce packages of gummy bears contain the same number of gummy bears. Think of the opportunities for project based learning this opens up. Through sharing, students learn and understand how to use all kinds of graphs and also why it is important that portrayal of data must make sense. It is simple, fun, and engaging, and can lead to further investigation! Use this document as a template and change some of the open-ended questions to reflect grade level standards. Change the request for type of graphs as you see fit.

[|c-Excel Goal Seek] is a tool with in Excel that allows Excel to give feedback data on constraint you set up for it. I believe this is a tool that could be used by middle school and up. I have included a great [|video] that I found on the Internet that explains this tool. He also informed me of another tool called

[|d-Excel Solver]. Same concept with more detailed and comprehensive feedback. I looked across the internet to find a good explanation so that readers could possibly find a good integration idea. Believe me this was a task! I finall found an outstanding [|video] at You Tube put out by. It uses great visuals, explanation, and even lego pieces to give the explanation. Be sure to check it out and let me know if you find some ways that it could be integrated in both middle and high school. media type="scribd" key="45334372" ARG0="key-2jtgdiixfq6cq6q6p6nn" height="360" width="480" align="center"
