Description:
Students use the $1000 Windfall example in their handout, and create their own data set of Items and Costs – must have between 6 and 8 items. Use the charts options in MS Excel to generate a 3D PIE chart based on the data in the handout. Students must show data value by using the “labels” option from their “Toolbox”.
They then copy and paste the chart to an MS Word file (shown in the example). They need to use standard reporting page set-up with a header, title and indented paragraphs with 1.5-2 line spacing. They must write an introductory paragraph, show the data table, and write a summary paragraph that extrapolates and describes at least 2 pieces of data shown in the table.
Reflection: In our fourth project we had house pie chart to see what we would spend with an unexpected 1,000 dollars. First i had to make the chart using Microsoft Excel, I put the AutoSum on so if the price went over $1,000 I would know. Next, I Made the pie chart and put values on that, once that was done I changed everything on the Earthquake Database and changed it to the Windfall database. I think I did good on this project because I did everything Mr.Schiff instructed and a T.A helped me.
