43 Spreadsheets and graphing with your children

The school have purchased 2 Simplesoftware. Within this software bundle comes a myriad of useful applications for teachers with younger children. One of which  is Infant Video Toolkit that uses spreadsheeting and makes graphs. This is ideal because the complexity of  Excel can be over whelming for younger children.
2 graph is very easy to use. As you are typing in the data into the "spreadsheet' on the left, the graphs is forming on the other side of the screen. I also like the fact that you are prompted with the words ABC to click and to give your graph a title and name the x and y axis. Good foundation learning points for graphing.
As is seen in the graphic below there are 5 types of graphs that can be used to display the data.
