Welcome to the MS Computer Lab Blog!
The objective of our blog is to share information about how we integrate our technology curriculum into the subject area curriculum. The foundation of this effort is the methodology of team teaching the lessons with the Middle School subject area teachers. Each post describes a particular lesson, the software used, some of the skills that were targeted, and the number of days that were spent in the lab.

The Divisibility Rules, Seen Through Excel
The 6th Grade Math students made extensive use of the IF statement to create a Divisibility Checker for numbers from 1 to 100. Other functions used in this lesson include ISEVEN, MOD, AND, OR and SUM. Later the students used conditional formatting to show if the number was divisible (green) or not (red), and graphed their results. A few students who finished early, extended the test up to 500.
