Fourth grade is working on March Madness. After selecting a team to follow through the tournament, the students send congratulations emails, research their college and team, and create powerpoints to share their information. After converting the heights of the players to inches, they create spreadsheets with inset charts. Finally, they plot the players' hometowns and explore with Google Earth.
