Pattern of PI with Excel Students’ age:
10 years old student, grade 5
Subject:
Media Education – 2 lessons per week (basics of computers ,Office)
Project idea: PI
Special features to cells of an Excel worksheet (lesson near the date of Day that should be celebrated by a short activity)
Lesson plan:
It was a lesson that combined mathematics with the current topic of Media Education. Students got to know about the “mysterous number PI” and measured the diameter and the circumference of round objects and calculated the ratio via Smartphone app as they did not know how to devide decimals (this is topic of grade 6). I have showed them an artwork that dispays some digits of PI in a colorful picture.
